A Tale Told by a Machine: The AI Narrator in Contemporary Science Fiction Novels

Heather Duerre Humann

4.9/5 (31870 ratings)

Description:Intelligent machines have long existed in science fiction, and they now appear in mainstream films such as Bladerunner, Ex Machina, I Am Mother and Her, as well as in a recent proliferation of literary texts narrated from the machine’s perspective. These new portrayals of artificial intelligence inevitably foreground dilemmas related to identity and selfhood, concepts being reassessed in the 21st century.Taking a close look at novels like Ancillary Justice, Aurora, All Systems Red, The Actuality, The Unseen World and Klara and the Sun, this work investigates key questions that arise from the use of AI narrators. It describes how these narratives challenge humanist principles by suggesting that selfhood is an illusion, even as they make the case for extending these principles to machines by proposing that they are not so different from humans. It examines what is at stake with nonhuman narration, the constitutive qualities of AI narratives, and what it might mean to relate to a narrator when the voice adopted is that of an AI.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
