Our modern fears about the \"otherness\" of androids and human replicants have much in common with fears of the Doppelganger, a mythological harbinger of death. Throughout the twentieth century, \"AI\" technologies have developed at a rapid pace, bringing us face to face with these ancient fears in a modern context. Examining such films as \u003ci\u003eThe Day the Earth Stood Still\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eForbidden Planet\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eBlade Runner\u003c\/i\u003e, among others, this book charts cinema's fascination with artificial intelligence and the technological double, as well as the historical antecedents of the artificial human.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDavid Huckvale\u003c\/b\u003e has worked as a researcher, writer and presenter for BBC Radio and as a lecturer for various universities in England.
