Free DownloadDavid Huckvale, "Artificial Intelligence in the Movies: A History"
English | ISBN: 1476695105 | 2024 | 216 pages | PDF | 8 MB
Since the times of ancient Greece, popular culture has entertained stories of artificial humans. Our modern fears about the "otherness" of androids and human replicants have much in common with fears of the Doppelganger, a mythological harbinger of death. Throughout the twentieth century, "AI" technologies have developed at a rapid pace, bringing us face to face with these ancient fears in a modern context. Examining such films as The Day the Earth Stood Still, Forbidden Planet and Blade Runner, among others, this book charts cinema’s fascination with artificial intelligence and the technological double, as well as the historical antecedents of the artificial human.
Free DownloadA Short History Of Myth by Karen Armstrong
English | October 31, 2004 | ISBN: 184767388X | 177 pages | EPUB | 3.17 Mb
Karen Armstrong’s concise yet compelling investigation into the history of myth takes us from the Palaeolithic period and the mythology of the hunters right up to the ‘Great Western Transformation’ of the last 500 years. She shows us that the history of myth is the history of humanity, and our stories and beliefs, our curiosity and attempts to understand the world, link us to our ancestors and each other. Myths help us make sense of the universe, and of ourselves. Armstrong’s characteristically insightful and eloquent book serves as a brilliant and thought-provoking introduction to myth in the broadest sense – and why we dismiss it only at our peril.
