Still haven't really made any definite decisions about the paper, but right now the idea I've been kicking around is writing a comparison of "Smoke Ghost" and "I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream" and various other works where technology/progress/industrialization is the enemy.
Are there any other stories we read that fit into this theme that I'm forgetting. Also I'd also like to work in a movie or two that fits into this, The Matrix and terminator are the first that come to mind, but does anyone have any other suggestions?

I like the idea and an obvious movie that comes to mind would be i Robot with will smith although I like the terminator as a better example.
I can't think of any other stories but the two you mentioned would provide plenty to talk about
Only today, too late for your purposes, did I remember another classic tale about the urban landscape itself as a malignant Hill House-type entity: another Harlan Ellison story, "The Whimper of Whipped Dogs."
