THE RUDIMENTARY OF MODERN POSTHUMANISM THEORY WITH REFERENCE TO WILLIAM GIBSON'S NEUROMANCER

Miss. O. Alisha

Abstract :

 

Artificial intelligence is an intelligence established by machines, in contrast to the natural intelligence exposed by humans and other animals which is sometimes called as Machine intelligence. Posthumanism emerges from a recognition that “Man” is not the honoured and protected centre which gives importance to animals, birds, “inhuman” objects and machines in the study of 21st century literary study. William Gibson, the pioneer of Cyberpunk, the sub–genre in science fiction whose debut novel Neuromancer (1984) describes how technology will be used as tool for crime in futuristic aspect. The research article bended two wide genres Posthumanism and Cyberpunk with the fundamental key called Artificial Intelligence (AI). The novel describes the cyber city in a dystopian context where a hunk of mortality lives within enormous urban slumps. In the futuristic aspect, the Artificial Intelligence decentres the humanism thought of “Man” as the centre. It challenges and even changes the notion of humanity for fellow human beings and the shift from mortal to immortal via cybernetics.
