Robots, Cybors, Artificial Intelligences

ROBOTS

CYBORGS

Visions of the future:

robots, cyborgs, artificial intelligences.

Will they have a soul tomorrow?

And us? Do you believe you have a soul?

Is the creator different from their creation?

What is more indefinable: the soul or free will?

Can a true Creator create slaves

instead of free beings?
