Cyborgs and androids

Le résumé fourni par la source

Chapter Five, “Cyborgs and androids: borders of the soul,” looks at episodes of Battlestar Galactica , Doctor Who , Buffy , Westworld , and other dramas to reframe a series of ancient questions revolving around the idea of the human soul. The Cylons on Battlestar Galactica , Actives on Dollhouse , Hosts on Westworld , and Gangers on Doctor Who all complicate the robot paranoia of earlier sci-fi periods and offer alternative, non-human perspectives and possibilities that challenge accepted narratives of a soulless technological future.
