This is a bit off topic, but I related Avatar to Rudy Rucker's Postsingular. Same theme of technology becoming irrelevant when faced with superior natural/supernatural alternative, which I think reveals what we subconsciously desire, try and fail to create with technology.
Just like Postsingular made me wish someone would figure out how to strum the "lazy eight", Avatar left me wishing life on Earth came with an organic USB cable.
