Thus, AI in SF-science-fictional AI-is considered part of a larger corpus of 'AI narratives' that shape our fears and hopes about the technology.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAI Apocalypse explores that corpus through a focused examination of how artificial intelligence has been portrayed in science fiction across literature, film, television, comics, and interactive media.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRather than predicting the future of AI or offering definitive conclusions about its real-world impact, this book presents a selective survey of fictional works in which AI plays a significant role in the plot, themes, or central ideas. Each entry is devoted to a single novel, short story, film, television series, comic book, or video game, providing a concise synopsis and an analysis of how AI is depicted-whether as benevolent, malevolent, neutral, or morally ambiguous.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll opinions presented in AI Apocalypse are the author's alone. The book does not claim to predict where real-world AI is heading, nor does it attempt to speak for the fears, hopes, or intentions of creators, artists, or technologists. Instead, it offers a curated look at how science fiction itself has imagined artificial intelligence-often guessing wrong, sometimes guessing uncomfortably close, and always revealing more about human concerns than machine futures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eProudly represented by \u003cstrong\u003eCrystal Lake Publishing-Where Stories Come Alive!\u003c\/strong\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 232\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.53 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 06, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44528847913095,"sku":"9781968532406","price":15.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/sGGw5SgFT_9781968532406.webp?v=1777089035","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/ai-apocalypse-a-guide-to-artificial-intelligence-as-portrayed-in-and-predicted-by-sf-stories-novels-tv-films-comic-books-and-video-games-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
