History of Machines & Their Personal/National Reflections | SF

Submitted by the Event Organizer

No Man’s Land looks to science-fiction and the history of heroic robots, to explore the ways in which our machines reflect and embody our personal and national baggage. Between 1961 and 1965, the United States commemorated the Civil War Centennial. During this time Ray Bradbury, Philip K. Dick and Walt Disney each created an Abraham Lincoln robot. On the eve of an emergent technology and in the midst of a civil rights revolution, they sought to answer the question, “What is a man?” Fifty years later, as the sesquicentennial draws to a close, this question remains as resonant as ever.
