      abstract = {Bringing together literary scholars, computer scientists,  ethicists, philosophers of mind, and scholars from  affiliated disciplines, this collection of essays offers  important and timely insights into the pasts, presents,  and, above all, possible futures of Artificial  Intelligence. This book covers topics such as ethics and  morality, identity and selfhood, and broader issues about  AI, addressing questions about the individual, social, and  existential impacts of such technologies. Through the works  of science fiction authors such as Isaac Asimov, Stanislaw  Lem, Ann Leckie, Iain M. Banks, and Martha Wells, alongside  key visual productions such as Ex Machina, Westworld, and  Her, contributions illustrate how science fiction might  inform potential futures as well as acting as a springboard  to bring disciplinary knowledge to bear on significant  developments of Artificial Intelligence. Addressing a  broad, interdisciplinary audience, both expert and  non-expert readers gain an in-depth understanding of the  wide range of pressing issues to which Artificial  Intelligence gives rise, and the ways in which science  fiction narratives have been used to represent them. Using  science fiction in this manner enables readers to see how  even fictional worlds and imagined futures have very real  impacts on how we understand these technologies. As such,  readers are introduced to theoretical positions on  Artificial Intelligence through fictional works as well as  encouraged to reflect on the diverse aspects of Artificial  Intelligence through its many philosophical, social, legal,  scientific, and cultural ramifications.},
