Hi, Alex! I created a Reddit account just because of this AMA - wanted to tell you that Ex Machina is absolutely fantastic, extremely smart. What kind of research did you do before writing the movie? Ex Machina actually reminded me of Frankenstein in that a lot of the scientific/technological details were kept vague - did the novel influence you? Finally - SPOILERS - why did you include the scene after Ava locks Caleb in the basement and enters the "real world"? I get that it was a callback to the earlier scene with Ava wanting to go to a highway, but it seems like ending it with Caleb trapped might have been more effective. Thanks so much!
