Widely acclaimed upon its release as a future classic, Denis
Villeneuve's Blade Runner 2049 is visually stunning,
philosophically profound, and a provocative extension of the story
in Ridley Scott's Blade Runner. Containing specially commissioned
chapters by a roster of international contributors, this
fascinating collection explores philosophical questions that abound
in Blade Runner 2049, including: What distinguishes the
authentically "human" person? How might natality condition one's
experience of being-in-the-world? How might shared memories feature
in the constitution of personal identities? What happens when
created beings transcend the limits intended in their design? What
(if anything) is it like to be a hologram? Can artificial beings
participate in genuinely romantic relationships? How might
developing artificial economics impact our behaviour as prosumers?
What are the implications of techno-human enhancement in an era of
surveillance capitalism? Including a foreword by Denis Villeneuve,
Blade Runner 2049: A Philosophical Exploration is essential reading
for anyone interested in philosophy, film studies, philosophy of
mind, psychology, gender studies, and conceptual issues in
cognitive science and artificial intelligence.
