GSN PODCAST: Dissecting Worlds Series 10, Episode 5: Droids and Replicants

Back from festive indulgences, Dissectingbots K33-R and M4-T take a look at the constructed creatures that inhabit science fiction worlds as servants and slaves - whether the world admits that or not. We talk about:

• Droids in the Star Wars Universe (excluding The Force Awakens, so we’re spoiler free) and robots in general


• Replicants in Blade Runner and other “biological” servants


• Legal grey areas in growing your own humans (or sub-humans)


• Emotional Distance and how easy society finds it to ignore real injustices, and how that applies to Droid/Replicant rights


• ...and more!

Keehar has a bumper-length bookshelf on period weaponry for all your time-travelling needs. Links to what he discusses are:
