Fear the Automaton: Technology and the Loss of Humanity in Philip K. Dick’s Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
analytical essay
What are monsters? Who are monsters? Clawed brutes, winged terrors, and giant robots are examples that fill popular fiction. In Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, Philip K. Dick focuses on monsters that are not so easily identified. These monsters have human appearances but lack human feelings; they are defined and ruled by the technology around them, reduced to little more than cogs in the machine. The technology featured in Dick’s post-apocalyptic world is dichotomous and extrapolates from current trends in technology. Technology acts as a medium for connection between people, yet simultaneously isolates them. It is intended as a tool for empowerment, but is used instead for pacification. Through the topic of technology in Androids, Dick echoes bioethicist Leon Kass, who believes that the “technical conquest of his own nature would almost certainly leave mankind utterly enfeebled” (qtd. in Bostrom). In this paper, I will discuss how Philip K. Dick uses technology in Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?, to warn of the danger of such “androidization”, the instrumentation of humans and the loss of individual will and expression.

Analysis Of Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep By Philip K. Dick
analytical essay
Pris Stratton is the same type of android that Rachel Rosen is; however, the former wants to kill a Rick Deckard, a bounty hunter who kills androids, while the other wants to sleep with him. In response to Deckard asking Rachel to come with him and kill three androids, she says “I don’t dare go because androids have no loyalty to one another and I know that that goddamn Pris Stratton will destroy me and occupy my place” (191). Dick specifically uses “destroy” to denote a feeling of complete disregard towards Rachel. The callousness and brutality the androids have toward one another display the impossibility to garner support from each other. A majority of humans and androids do not feel empathetic towards other androids, isolating their kind from others. To explain why androids do not support each other, Rachel tells that she feels “identification” toward Pris rather than empathy (189). The difference between the two ideas is that empathy transmutes to support while identification is only knowing the same species is alive. Due to this and humanity’s disapproval, androids do not have a haven to seek security

Sympathy For Empathy
analytical essay
Empathy, at the turn of the century, was described as a “unique combination of cognitive effort and bodily feeling, thought to characterize aesthetic feelings,” and had been described as so for many years, much like, sympathy. Empathy, however, broke off from the word sympathy and has since been deemed differently as, “moral activity and a more specific physio-psychological process in how our brain is hardwired,” but empathy and sympathy are still thought to share key features in the 20th century, and society couldn’t be more wrong in using the word empathy so loosely. Sympathy is merely and understanding of one’s emotional state, where empathy is the extreme sense, awareness, and feeling of another’s emotional

The Concept Of Artificial Intelligence In Mary Shelley's Frankenstein
opinion essay
We used to have sentient labors that you didn’t have to pay for but that was called slavery and is now frowned upon by most of modern society. The ethical questions are endless with creating a perfect life to be used for nothing but doing the work that is undesirable. Mistakes happen because these questions are not thought through and not one one of the short stories shown in class were positive about this so it is clear that most people know. It is the intelligence part of artificial intelligence is what makes it dangerous because anything with brains isn’t going to be easily controlled. Because they can think, the AI can actually process about their situation and defect, seeing that they deserve better and jobs more suited for their abilities and intellect. Even if that kind of thought was avoided in the programming, the ability to think allows them to grow and it is almost inevitable that they come to think these things. Hammers and tools don’t revolt because they don’t have some unnecessary ability to think for themselves. In all of the short stories that we read for class, the AI went rogue because they were unhappy and could think it through. Man treated them like regular machines and history has shown us that treating sentiment human beings with minds of their own like mindless drones does not work very well because they will revolt. They do not take kindly to being treated like any old laundry machine or just another science experiment because they have been given minds to view things in their own way. The androids in the novel Do Androids Dream will do anything to be free, even murder. This is a natural consequence and every oppressed class in history has tried to free themselves in ways that were not seen as acceptable. There is a danger that is involved when creating a class of sentient
