Transhumanism: Immortality & Singularity in Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? & The Transhumanist Wager


Management of future by robots having artificial intelligence and the increase of their population sometimes submit danger for people and for this reason, rather than a killing a human having a clash with robots it is easier to destroy a robot therefore it creates a more liveable atmosphere for human being in a minority on earth. Although a searcher's searching is rejected or even he loses his lover for the sake of searching he handles he obstacles as a supportive element while searching his targets and he wants to achieve immortality. Another work's main character Rick Deckard is in a war zone that is occurred on a planet in that artificial robots find life and that war occurs under the name of 'real and artificial' for the welfare of his earth. My work studies the origin of the background of the desire of becoming immortal and creating an artificial intelligence and their reflections onto the literary works.
