- Summary:
- "This book explores a phenomenon which it calls the new A.I. cinema and television, arguing that since the mid-2010s a distinctly new phase in the representation of A.I. has occurred. Discussing films such as Blade Runner 2049, Ex Machina and Ghost in the Shell alongside television series such as Westworld and Humans it argues that they have moved away from apocalyptic scenarios towards questions of personhood, consciousness, and social inclusion and exclusion. In doing so, it intervenes in some of today's most pressing debates, including gender representation, A.I. ethics, climate catastrophe, and the rights of artificially intelligent beings"-- Provided by publisher.
