  • Zusatztext
    • <p><b>Are cyborgs our friends or our enemies?<p>Was it morally right for Skynet to nuke us?<p>Is John Connor free to choose to defend humanity, or not?<p>Is Judgment Day inevitable?</b><p>The<i>Terminator</i> series is one of the most popular sci-fi franchises ever created, captivating millions with its edgy depiction of the struggle of humankind for survival against its own creations. This book draws on some of historys philosophical heavy hitters: Descartes, Kant, Karl Marx, and many more. Nineteen leather-clad chapters target with extreme prejudice the mysteries surrounding intriguing philosophical issues raised by the series, including the morality of terminating other people for the sake of peace, whether we can really use time travel to protect our future resistance leaders in the past, and if Arnolds famous T-101 is a real person or not. Youll say Hasta la vista, baby to philosophical confusion as you develop a new appreciation for the complexities of John and Sarah Connor and the battles between Skynet and the human race.
