Book Presentation:
This book explores the making of futuristic memory through cinematic symbols relating to future relationships between humans and artificial intelligence (AI). Amar Singh examines how audiences are being prepared for possible future scenarios where they may find themselves entangled with intelligent objects through developing relationships with them, and if so, how they might react when confronted by an intelligent species. Through this research, Singh focuses on both the complications and flaws of science fiction depictions of AI as well as more abstract works that, while not directly connected, contribute to a better understanding of these emerging technologies. Scholars of film, media, memory, posthuman, transhuman, and cultural studies will find particular value in this book, along with those focusing on literary and critical theory, arts and aesthetics, political sociology, and advanced research in AI.
