SCIENCE AND FICTION MINDING THE FUTURE KARTON...

Bringing together literary scholars  computer scientists  ethicists  philosophers of mind  and
scholars from affiliated disciplines  this collection of essays offers important and timely
insights into the pasts  presents  and  above all  possible futures of Artificial Intelligence.
This book covers topics such as ethics and morality  identity and selfhood  and broader issues
about AI  addressing questions about the individual  social  and existential impacts of such
technologies. Through the works of science fiction authors such as Isaac Asimov  Stanislaw Lem
Ann Leckie  Iain M. Banks  and Martha Wells  alongside key visual productions such as Ex
Machina  Westworld  and Her  contributions illustrate how science fiction might inform
potential futures as well as acting as a springboard to bring disciplinary knowledge to bear on
significant developments of Artificial Intelligence. Addressing a broad  interdisciplinary
audience  both expert and non-expert readers gain an in-depth understanding of the wide range
of pressing issues to which Artificial Intelligence gives rise  and the ways in which science
fiction narratives have been used to represent them. Using science fiction in this manner
enables readers to see how even fictional worlds and imagined futures have very real impacts on
how we understand these technologies. As such  readers are introduced to theoretical positions
on Artificial Intelligence through fictional works as well as encouraged to reflect on the
diverse aspects of Artificial Intelligence through its many philosophical  social  legal 
scientific  and cultural ramifications.
