Hi Fil,
I agree with the reference to Miyazaki and I would underline Nausicaa
and Laputa, Castle in the Sky in which science fiction designed objects
are almost characters.
Miyazaki's vison of technology/material culture/design versus nature is
worthwhile to study. Even the recent Ponyo shows a demiurgic character
in a submarine that creates apparently all underwater life with some
designing characteristics (a big nose, long hair and fancy suits).
For our engineers friends we can suggest that they stare at Brad Pitt's
character in Terence Mallick's "Tree of Life" (but that's not science
fiction).
Best,
Eduardo
