I loved reading Asimov's robot series (or the ones our library had) and the Foundation and Earth series. Its a shame there isn't more and has not yet been competently translated to cinema or TV. I haven't found too many other authors I enjoy of that genre. Huxley and Frank Herbert are also exceptions, Dune as a movie and book was great entertainment for its time - not really going out on a limb scientific discoveries though.
Many films and books try to portray ideas from science,
The problem is that we may not exist at all the idea is a reflection on "who am I".
If we are biological computers then who am I?
If we are energy that is alive then who am I?
Do I actually exist at all?
Its interesting to contemplate "what if I only think I exist"?
It all sounds nuts but if energy isn't alive then what are we.
From Dune "let the sleeper awaken" is an interesting concept.
From inception "how do you know your not dreaming now?"
Reality as mankind sees it and actual reality are quite different. Look at history and then look at the Earth and universe.
How much is a creation of belief manifested on Earth its quite a shock that reality for us is an imagined "how it should be" creation.
Then to think its all just energy but energy with purpose (maybe)
Taking all this into account that the universe has created this not us!
