Don't know if you have notifications on--if not, see my new comment up thread re: the C21 Battlestar Galactic TV reboot, where the robots/cylons become gods.
I really enjoyed this essay, and I'm stumbling my way to a distinction between the robot/AI and genetic manipulation tropes. I think the former puts us humans as gods: creating a new race in our image. The latter, because it hews closer to our germline and requires coloring within the general lines of our phenotype, is also about being better parents?
Also, HTML solidarity: I've never got footnotes to work correctly in whatever style I've used---I know my syntax is correct, so I've just done it and moved on.
Also also, you must read AUTONOMOUS right now because it's about trans robots!
