Book Description
Early in the 21st century, the Tyrell Corporation advanced Robot evolution into the Nexus phase – a being virtually identical to a human – known as a Replicant. Replicants were used Off-world as slave labor, in the hazardous exploration and colonization of other planets. Now, on Earth, the Nexus 4 Replicants have been adapted for societal elites to own for industry and service work. But, Tyrell continues to experiment with further enhancements – because progress stops for no man. After the apparent suicide of Dr. Lydia Kine – a Tyrell Corporation bioengineer – was determined to be a murder committed by a Replicant, LAPD Detective Cal Moreaux tracked the presumed killer: a Nexus 5 prototype. However, Cal later discovered that Kine had successfully transferred her psyche into the body of a Replicant called Asa. The Nexus 5 has been “awakening” some Replicants, causing them to leave their positions of servitude in pursuit of autonomy. Cal has followed this trail of rebellion to Sector-6b, the slums of Los Angeles, once his home, where he learned the true identity of the escaped Nexus 5… his sister: Nia Moreaux. Desperate to atone for the wrongs he committed as Dr. Kine, Asa has followed one of these “awakened” Replicants, a murderous Nexus 4, to the slums in order to dispatch it. In his search for Nia, who is also looking for the deranged Nexus 4, Cal has arrived here too. Unfortunately for them all, Ilora Stahl is right on their tail…

Future Noir: The Making of Blade Runner
Author: Paul M. Sammon
Publisher: Harper Collins
ISBN: 0061053147
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 467
Book Description
The 1992 release of the "Director's Cut" only confirmed what the international film cognoscenti have know all along: Ridley Scott's Blade Runner, based on Philip K. Dick's brilliant and troubling SF novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, still rules as the most visually dense, thematically challenging, and influential SF film ever made. Future Noir is the story of that triumph. The making of Blade Runner was a seven-year odyssey that would test the stamina and the imagination of writers, producers, special effects wizards, and the most innovative art directors and set designers in the industry. A fascinating look at the ever-shifting interface between commerce and the art that is modern Hollywood, Future Noir is the intense, intimate, anything-but-glamerous inside account of how the work of SF's most uncompromising author was transformed into a critical sensation, a commercial success, and a cult classic.

“A Curious Machine”
Author: Arseny Ermakov
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1666762598
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 204
Book Description
In his sermon "What Is Man?," John Wesley spoke of the human being as a "curious machine," reflecting the eighteenth-century view of the person as a set of complex mechanisms animated by the soul. The rapid rate of technological development in recent decades is opening toward a future in which the centrality and uniqueness of human beings is undergoing a shift. Developments in robotics, artificial intelligence, surveillance, autonomous weapons, human enhancement, and genetic modification raise an array of questions for the Christian tradition. The awareness of the negative impact of human activity on the natural environment is challenging the traditional view of humanity as having a uniquely privileged role at the heart of creation. This collection of essays addresses Wesleyan and broadly Christian voices that explore the theological, philosophical, biblical, ethical, and practical implications of emerging technologies, their impact upon different aspects of human life, and the possibilities that are opening up toward a posthuman future.
