Faculty Fellow Andrew Maynard is interested in what science fiction movies can tell us about technology and society. His new book – Films from the Future: The Technology and Morality of Sci-Fi Movies – is out November 15.
Using popular movies to discuss emerging technologies and what they mean for our future, the book tackles many not-so-far-fetched technologies including: human cloning, predictive policing, enhanced intelligence, genetic manipulation, and more.
Professor Maynard is also hosting an evening at the movies. Join Professor Maynard at the Alamo Drafthouse Tempe as he discusses the challenges and opportunities presented by emerging technologies accompanied by clips from popular science fiction films. Sounds like a fun night out!
