Tag: Automatons
On automatons and AI:
“Humans have been experimenting with automatons for centuries, but it is only we moderns who have worried about the consequences. The Greeks saw nothing to fear from artificial life. In their mythology, the god Hephaestus was responsible for the creation of mechanized beings—from the golden slaves he designed for his personal use to the bronze giant Talos, who guarded the island of Crete. Stopping one of these machines was as simple as removing the plug and letting the ichor (immortal blood) run out.” – Amanda Foreman.
We tend to like the idea of Automata and cyborgs. For no reason in particular.

Gabbler’s Goodreads Review of THE JUST CITY by Jo Walton
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
A lack of books like these is what got me so interested in B.L.A.’s works to begin with. Superb work.
