A century later, the play?s dystopian themes of dehumanization and exploited labor are being played out in factories, workplaces, and battlefields. In The Robotic Imaginary, Jennifer Rhee traces the provocative and productive connections of contemporary robots in technology, film, art, and literature. Centered around the twinned processes of anthropomorphization and dehumanization, she analyzes the coevolution of cultural and technological robots and artificial intelligence, arguing that it is through the conceptualization of the human and, more important, the dehumanized that these multiple spheres affect and transform each other.--publisher. 606 $aRobots$xMoral and ethical aspects 606 $aRobots$xSocial aspects 615 0$aRobots$xMoral and ethical aspects. 615 0$aRobots$xSocial aspects. 676 $a303.48/3 700 $aRhee$b Jennifer$01712780 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910812661203321 996 $aThe robotic imaginary$94105205 997 $aUNINA
