Rewriting the Human: Posthuman Encounters in Blade Runner and Klara and the Sun A Comparative Study of AI, Identity, and Emotional Consciousness

This paper looks at how Blade Runner and Klara and the Sun explore what it means to be human through their AI (artificial intelligence) characters. It compares how both stories show robots and machines that think, feel, and question their place in the world. The study focuses on identity, emotions, and the way these AI characters relate to people. Using ideas from posthumanism, the paper shows how these stories blur the line between humans and machines, making us rethink human nature, relationships, and the meaning of consciousness.
