Review of ROBOT THEOLOGY

In a long lifetime of reading a wide variety of Science Fiction, I've noticed a polarity of viewpoint among authors and characters regarding Robots and Artificial Intelligence. It seems either the concepts are embraced as the gateway to a new technological paradise; or Robots and/or AI are viewed with suspicion, distrust, paranoia, even fear. Although not a scientist, I expect that both Robots and Artificial Intelligence are here to stay, and both concepts will become even more important as the Future unfolds.


Author Joshua Smith takes a valuable new approach and observes from the perspective of Christian Anthropology, in a likable and readable, deeply-researched book, which I'll be keeping close at hand to reread as the blooming fields of robotics and Artificial Intelligence bring us all new wonders and pressure each individual to determine for herself or himself how to consider these topics and how to react and to live in the imminent "brave new world, " as Aldous Huxley termed the future.
