Description

Explore the intersection of technology and performance with Sophia Robot: Post Human Being. Part of the Routledge Advances in Theatre & Performance Studies series, this book examines David Hanson's robots as a reflection of our current cultural moment. It looks at how humanoid social robots serve as a new paradigm for human evolution and expression. Mechanical beings have lived in the human imagination since ancient times. Today, they occupy our pop-cultural landscape, representing both our highest technological goals and our deepest fears. This text focuses on Sophia, the most advanced robot created by Hanson, who articulates the myths, narratives, and anxieties that define the human experience. Designed with a face inspired by Queen Nefertiti and Audrey Hepburn, Sophia represents a unique blend of history and future technology. This book provides a deep look into how these gendered, attractive forms impact our understanding of humanity, hope, and the future of social robotics.
