Standing beneath the white light of an Apple store is like standing on a Stanley Kubrick movie set. His '2001: A Space Odyssey' predicted Jobs and a future where technology was our friend. Kubrick, of course, didn't like what he saw. And occasionally, I have my doubts.

Summary

The quote suggests that being inside an Apple store creates a futuristic and almost surreal atmosphere reminiscent of a Stanley Kubrick film set. It draws a parallel between Kubrick's film '2001: A Space Odyssey,' which envisioned a future where technology was prevalent, and the experience of being in an Apple store, where technology plays a central role. However, the quote also hints at a sense of ambivalence or skepticism towards this vision, acknowledging Kubrick's own dissatisfaction with the potential consequences of an overly technological world.
