Summary: This book explores how artificial intelligence is represented in modern film and television, focusing on a new wave of storytelling that emerged in the mid-2010s. By examining films such as Blade Runner 2049, Ex Machina, and Ghost in the Shell, along with television series like Westworld and Humans, the book argues that AI stories have shifted away from simple apocalyptic fears. Instead, they now explore deeper questions about consciousness, identity, ethics, and the role of intelligent machines in society. It also connects these narratives to current debates on gender representation, AI ethics, climate concerns, and the possible rights of artificial beings.
