I really like this essay on the general theme (referencing Frankenstein, Blade Runner, Her, Ex Machina, Paradise Lost, Prometheus, etc.): http://www.nybooks.com

I really like this essay on the general theme (referencing Frankenstein, Blade Runner, Her, Ex Machina, Paradise Lost, Prometheus, etc.): http://www.nybooks.com/articles/2015/06/04/robots-are-winning/ http://www.nybooks.com/articles/2015/06/04/robots-are-winnin... Perfect quote from 'Ex Machina' that captures the dilemma: “It’s strange to have made something that hates you.” What's interesting is how similarities in these narratives span ancient Greek ideas (Prometheus) to Genesis to Christ-like figures. Consider how Robocop is cruelly killed then 'resurrects'... There is also the childbirth angle mentioned in this article.
