When a printer is a gun



Scaramanga's career in hairdressing was short lived
You remember the scene in “man with the golden gun”? Christopher Lee, who plays the assassin, Scaramanga, is having a terse conversation with his corporate backer and whilst he talks he plays with his lighter, pen and cigarette case. The conversation draws to a close and Scaramanga, who has assembled his golden toys into a gun, resigns from corporate service in a brutally abrupt manner. A work of fiction and one with no small degree of panache perhaps, but a not quite a useful insight into the dangers of emergent technology.
