Ridley Scott's Blade Runner is widely regarded as a "masterpiece of modern cinema" and is regularly ranked as one of the great films of all time. Set in a dystopian future where the line between human beings and 'replicants' is blurred, the film raises a host of philosophical questions from what it is to be human and to the nature of consciousness. This is the first book to explore and address these questions and more from a philosophical point of view. Beginning with a helpful introduction, specially commissioned chapters examine the following questions: - What is the relationship between emotion and reason and how successful is Blade Runner in depicting emotions? - Can we know what it is like to be a replicant? - What is the origin of personhood and what qualifies one as a person? - Does the style of Blade Runner have any philosophical significance? - To what extent is Blade Runner a meditation on the nature of film itself? Including a biography of the director and annotated further reading at the end of each chapter, Blade Runner is essential reading for students interested in philosophy and film studies.

The 1992 release of the "Director's Cut" only confirmed what the international film cognoscenti had known all along: Ridley Scott's Blade Runner, based on Philip K. Dick's brilliant and troubling SF novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, still rules as the most visually dense, thematically challenging, and influential SF film ever made. Future Noir is the story of that triumph. The making of Blade Runner was a seven-year odyssey that would test the stamina and the imagination of writers, producers, special effects wizards, and the most innovative art directors and set designers in the industry. A fascinating look at the ever-shifting interface between commerce and the art that is modern Hollywood, Future Noir is the intense, intimate, anything-but-glamorous inside account of how the work of SF's most uncompromising author was transformed into a critical sensation, a commercial success, and a cult classic.--Publisher description.

Nous sommes en 2019 à Los Angeles. La planète a vu disparaître la quasi-totalité de la faune, à la suite de la surexploitation, de la pollution, des guerres (nucléaires) et du dérèglement climatique d'origine anthropique. La population est encouragée à émigrer vers les colonies situées sur d'autres planètes. Pour les besoins des humains ont été créés des animaux artificiels, ainsi que des androïdes, dont les organes, fabriqués indépendamment, et par manipulation génétique, sont assemblés pour leur donner apparence humaine. Ils sont appelés « réplicants ». Après une révolte sanglante et inexpliquée de réplicants dans une colonie martienne, ceux-ci sont interdits sur Terre. Des unités de police spéciales, les blade runners, interviennent pour appliquer la loi contre les contrevenants. Mais, les androïdes les plus modernes étant difficiles à distinguer des humains, les blade runners doivent enquêter longuement, par un test établissant leur absence d'empathie, avant de le mettre hors circuit. De la fiction à la réalité, cet ouvrage fait le point sur l'"affective computing", une branche de la recherche en intelligence artificielle qui développe des systèmes ayant la capacité de reconnaître, d'exprimer, de synthétiser et de modéliser des émotions humaines. Suivez le guide et embarquez avec Frédéric Landragin à la découverte de ces robots qui pourraient devenir un jour nos nouveaux compagnons de vie, soucieux de satisfaire tous nos désirs.
