A Clockwork Orange

  It occurred to me recently that my world has become as crazy as a clockwork orange. The idea, of course, being a rather obtuse allusion to the landmark film by Stanley Kubrick based on the 1962 novel, by Anthony Burgess with same name. The concept as described by Mister Burgess is the juxtaposition of organic life driven by "free will", with a robotic and deterministic mechanism that possesses no "free will".

  Instead of focusing on the countless examples of these automata bumping into walls around me, I was more intrigued by the challenge of creating an actual clockwork orange, (being a simple meat- puppet myself)

  Submitted for your approval, a working clockwork orange.
