description: 'You and I are real, Teddy, aren't we?'The bear's eyes regarded the boy unflinchingly.'You and I are real, David.'SUPERTOYS LAST ALL SUMMER LONG is the haunting tale of a young boy unable to please his mother, a boy who is not a boy at all, a boy whose intelligence is only artificial...This story, together with two other tales from Brian Aldiss's formidable collection of futuristic fables, form the foundations of Steven Spielberg's latest blockbuster A.I. - a project which Spielberg himself inherited after the death of Stanley Kubrick. They are typical of the writer's humane powers of prophecy, and his unerring sense of how technology and intelligence could - and sometimes should - work together.
