24-2511 Science Fiction Visions of a Post-Human Future

Course examines science fiction visions of a post-biological, post-human future. Through films (Blade Runner, 2001: A Space Odyssey, and The Matrix), novels, (Snow Crash and Blood Music), the internet, and other media, students explore fundamental questions of human and gender identity. Students examine contemporary anxieties fueled by the creation of artificial life, genetic engineering, the replacement of body parts, the threat of biological and electronic viruses, and predictions that intelligent, self-replicating machines represent the next stage of human evolution.
