Artificial Intelligence and Its Implications in Literature

This chapter explores the portrayal of artificial intelligence in science fiction, with a focus on Greg Bear's 'Queen of Angels' and its themes of consciousness and identity. It connects these narratives to current anxieties surrounding technology and job displacement, while also delving into the interplay between humanity and nature in the context of climate change. The discussion transitions to global conflicts and their lessons for warfare, drawing parallels between historical events and modern military strategies.
