the complete story)
| "Anything by Assimov. This atheist tried creating "God" in various modes - economics, mental and finally an inherent part of each individual! Also an amazing psychologist. He does more to prove the existance of God than any other writer. (except CS Lewis)" (Corinne Gourley 9/13/2007 3:38:49 AM) |
| "The Cyberiad by Stanis?aw Lem is. The two robot "constructors" perform God-like feats, and the tales are like fables." ( 9/13/2007 6:31:39 AM) |
| "I second the Asimov books, particularly as they relate to the three (four) laws of robotics being the religion of robots." (BK 9/13/2007 7:02:06 AM) |
| "The Matrix contains quite a few religious themes, and even some good dialogs between conscious agents and "programs" concerning religion and love.
Also, Don't forget Douglas Adams 'Deep Thought', the uber computer given the task of computing the meaning of "Life, the universe, and everything"
Lastly of course, the new Battle Star Galactica series features religious fanatic fundamentalist 'Cylons' intent on converting or wiping out the human race which created them." (Zac Hunter 9/13/2007 12:59:56 PM) |
| "Stranger in a Strange Land
Canticle for Liebowicz" (Peter Jacobs 9/13/2007 10:08:34 PM) |
| ""A choice of Gods" by Clifford D. Simak, is an excellent read and contains robots who are more religious then people." (Someone 5/18/2010 9:25:54 PM) |
