From a friend: "Has anyone seen the film I am mother? Its a
dystopian sci-fi flick. The movie is like a tiny look into the middle of
a huge story. At the end, you are left wondering what the heck just
happened Worth seeing!"
"Im wondering if there will be sequels/prequels."
The movie, on Netflix, is a cautionary tale for a different form of
Skynet. And it is very good with a low budget.

Is this movie based on a book ? And are there prequels or sequels ?
(I mean, /really/, not only Unicode-only quotes that Eternal September rejects posts for, but /two/ levels of outermost quotes? Is there aIt struck me as one of those "Aren't I clever" stories. And like most
new version of LISP that used quotation marks instead of parentheses?)

Worth seeing once, anyway. And I had no troubling figuring the
situation out. It does look very well done.

As to other films, that depends on how much this one made and how enthusiastic the writer/director are. And how imaginative.

The Terminator version of Skynet is intended here, I suppose. That is
an interesting connection.

As the very article you yourself cite states (using "//" for
italicized part):
"/I Am Mother/ is a 2019 Australian cyberpunk thriller film directed
by Grant Sputore, from a screenplay by Michael Lloyd Green, based on a
story by both."
This phraseology usually means that the story is an original story,
from which the screenplay was made. IMDb ([https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6292852/fullcredits?ref_=tt_ov_st_sm])
has no indication of any other author.
It is, I suppose, possible that they co-wrote a story and got it
published somewhere. But I think we can clearly rule out it having
been written by anyone else.
And, since the same people wrote the story and the script, I suspect
the two are quite similar.
