Sam Esmail's Mr. Robot

Singer describes Iraq operations as they were being performed in 2008 with the threat of Improvised Explosive Devices, IEDs. “The Explosive Ordnance Disposal, EOD, teams were tasked with defeating this threat, roving about the battlefield to find and defuse the IEDs before they could explode and kill.” 3 Robots such as Packbot and Talon were used to disarm IEDs which save lives of Soldiers and civilians. The proliferation of technology in the battlefield can be seen in today’s combat environment on the ground, sea and air and will continue to grow. He states that “man’s monopoly of warfare is being broken” because digital weapons such as Packbot, Talon, SWORDS, Predator, Global Hawk and many others are a “sign” that “we are entering the era of robots of war.” 4 He supports his theory of the proliferation of technology in weapons by looking at industry growth by providing quantifiable data of rapid growth in industry to meet demands. As he states “in 1999, there were nine companies with federal contracts in homeland security. By 2003, there were 3,512. In 2006, there were 33,890.” 5 Mr. Singer then provides a history of robots, trends, and what we can expect in the future. The book also provides a glimpse of what the author believes can be expected on future battlefields and changes that he thinks U.S. policy makers and military leaders need to address. Some of the changes that can be affected concern law of war, robots role in war, level of robot authority to fight wars and robot

This article begins by outlining the tragic death of an artificial intelligence robot, named Steve. Steve’s accidental death, by stairs, raises a lot of new questions surrounding robots, and their rights. In his article, Leetaru, discusses the range of questions that have sparked from not only Steve’s death, but the rise of advanced robot mechanics. While the Silicon Valley is busy grinding out new plans and models of robots, especially security robots, how can we establish what a mechanical robot is entitled to? Leetaru offers many different scenarios concerning robots against aggressors, in hopes to reveal that these rights be outlined with the rise in usage of this technology. The article speculates how in the future, when these robots

Elliot Rodger is incredibly detailed when writing about his childhood, and he describes it as the happiest years of his life, taking up the first 5 pages to reminisce about his early life in England. After these first 5 pages his story becomes morose and Rodger begins to describe his more negative experiences in school. When recounting his early life, Rodger seems almost surprised that he was friends with girls at a young age. His hatred for the female population runs very deep and he tends to oversexualize the women that were in his life. By page 49 of his autobiography he has established that he was morbidly insecure and jealous of the young people he interacted with- a theme that would carry out until the end of his story. At page 57 Rodger starts to become violent and his hatred for the world shines through: “I was fueled both by my desire to destroy all of the injustices of the world, and to exact revenge on everyone I envy and hate. I decided that my destiny in life is to rise to power so I can impose my ideology on the world and set everything right." Elliot had become obsessed with attempting to enter the social scene and was genuinely angry at people that had relationships, had sex, and were overall happy. Starting at page 82 he begins to discuss his deep hatred for women, which continues on throughout the rest of his story, "It was society's

In Aaron Sorkin’s play A Few Good Men, Dawson’s reasoning was valid because he was following an order, he was being an honorable, and his intentions were genuine. Dawson was a good person and an exceptional Marine, and throughout the play he never once faltered. He held himself accountable for the decisions he made and stood behind them firmly.

R2D2 from Star Wars is a robot that helps the humans and is a famous movie icon. Decepticon from Transformers, however, is a widely-known robot that is out to kill humans. These movies and other social inputs have made a two-sided view of robots; either people support robots and are excited to see the future with them or they are against them and fear any kind of artificial intelligence. Robotics is a double-edged sword; there is a considerable amount of evidence and experience to safely say that robots are essential to humans, yet many people have the innate fear that they will surpass humans. Rather than fearing robots, people should try to embrace the advancing technology and the benefits that could result from it.

Within the text of “The Robot Invasion”, by Charlie Gillis, Gillis discusses the advancement of technology and how it has impacted the lives of human-kind over the years. However, the view he takes on the topic is negative as he views it as impactful yet bad for society’s future. Gillis argues that, although many of the advancements could be impactful to today’s society in good ways the overall effect of a “robot invasion” as made out in Hollywood still leaves a bad taste in everyone’s mouths.

“Looks like one of your robots got your son, eh! Hope you programmed them right. You might not have the skills!” Shouted another voice from the crowd. Orsen picked up the nearest Mind Stealer and shot down a few people. The army picked up their weapons but robots came up from behind them and started aiming. People picked up their anti-hurt shields. Laser beams flew everywhere ricocheting off walls and shields. The people with super speed raced around trying to avoid being hit. Nicole, Skylar’s best friend, had the mind reading ability and slowly moved closer to Orsen and tried to read his mind. ‘And I’ll just escape with Marlin. I need to get out of here. These robots can handle these immature

Phillip Dick’s post-apocalyptic science fiction: “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep,” encompasses around the contrasting ideals of human empathy and apathy. The starring character of the novel; Rick Deckard, portrays himself a stereotypical man living on Mars, who pays little attention to the lack of morality in his world. Dick introduces Deckard’s role in the novel as a self-absorbed individual, representing the lack of humanity in the future. Rick Deckard is a bounty hunter, whose motivation of termination is purely out of financial gain. He rejects the idea of Mercerism; the idea that your motivation should be based on the benefit of the community that holds you, and the concept that one must be empathetic.

While these exchanges are happening, Elliot falls back to narration in his mind, explaining what he really was thinking. The things Leon says in real life will be responded to in narrative form unlike a normal two way conversation. This gives us the sense that people use Elliot to get out what's on their mind, without knowing his own problems. A contrast between personal beliefs and reality is something that irks the viewer to agree with Elliot’s view of the world. By writing dialog in this style, some of the emotions portrayed become transparent to us, the viewer.
