Humanity becoming gods?: the dreams and fears of science fiction

Thursday 6th July

Science fiction is the literature of our age, questioning human origins, destiny and our relationship to what is not us, be it the universe, aliens, animals, robots that serve or…… super-intelligent cyborgs. In a “world without God”, will humans themselves become gods or become victims of their worst nightmares?

The speaker, Stephen May, science fiction fan and former lecturer in Systematic Theology at the University of Auckland, is author of Stardust and Ashes: Science Fiction in Christian Perspective (1998)
