In the Gre ek myth\, Prometheus stole fire from the gods and gave it to human beings. In Aeschylus’ classic\, it is a blessing and a curse for us\, and Prometheu s is punished for his transgression. This myth is archetypal for the deepes t questions that surround our ambivalent experience of technology. We’ll re ad texts\, study films\, and perform astronomical observation\, pivoting on Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein (subtitled “the modern Prometheus”)\, and culm inating in Ridley Scott’s masterpiece\, Blade Runner. The modern enlightenm ent project set new ambitions for what technology can do\, and we have\, fo r the 200 years since Shelley’s novel transfixed our imagination\, wrestled explicitly with the question of whether technology serves us\, transforms us\, or potentially dehumanizes us.\n\nThis event is for prospective studen ts.
