ABOUT:
In this introduction video, we delve into "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?", a dystopian science fiction novel set in post-apocalyptic San Francisco. The story follows Rick Deckard, a bounty hunter tasked with eliminating rogue androids. We'll analyze the complex themes and societal characteristics presented in the book, including the post-nuclear war context, the obvious parallels to Chat GPT and revolution in AI and Artificial General Intelligence, Philip K. Dicks philosophical and theological views, the Cold War influences, and the philosophical musings on what makes us human, what is real, and what is fake.
