Comparing Metropolis And Asimov's, I, Robot

Technophobia or Reality In Tezuka’s Metropolis and Asimov’s, I, Robot, the role of the robots are to serve humans. In both worlds, humans have come to rely on computers and robots to do everyday tasks to manual labor. In Metropolis, the robots are utilized for all labor and are treated only as machines. Over the years, the use of robots has eliminated most jobs for humans. Without these jobs, the humans became impoverished and forced to live in the slums. The plutocratic government controls everything and the wealthy live in grandeur. Unlike, I, Robot, the humans and robot live side by side, with many living in the homes of the humans they serve. In Metropolis robots are separated by zones, by class or status. The zones are like neighborhoods,
They fear it will lead to a poor economy, depression, and they only people who will benefit will be the business owner, especially the technology conglomerates. Where the likelihood of a Plutocracy society - a society ruled or controlled by the wealthiest citizens will be implemented. Or even more frightening , imagine the world where we are driven so far into poverty and the greed of the wealthy that our future is more like that of dystopian Metropolis than the futuristic I, Robot. Whereas, we live is dystopian society, where the citizens live in slums with no hope. Where neighborhoods are policed, by the likes of Marduk, which patrol the city and the zones to keep order. Reminiscent of World War II Nazi soldiers, who policed and keep the Jewish people in the ghettos. The government is controlled by the elites and rebels are organizing violent revolutions to destroy the robots and overthrow the government. The world where Americans no longer live in a democracy, where we have no equal rights, liberties, or freedoms. Where your station in life is predetermined by the government, but the government will provide for you, according to your basic needs. If this is our foreseen future created by advancement of technology and total utilization of robots, then the entire world will live in a communist /plutocracy society which should in time become a dystopian
Science fiction shows the transformation into the Posthuman as the horrific harbinger of a long twilight and decline of the human species….. and expresses technophobic fears of losing our human identity and lives to machines” (Dinella).
In an interview on BBC, renowned physicist, Steven Hawkings, reasoned that the “development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race. The state of artificial intelligence (AI) today holds no threat, but he is concerned about scientists in the future creating technology that can surpass humans in terms of both intelligence and physical strength.
"It would take off on its own, and re-design itself at an ever-increasing rate," Hawking said. "Humans, who are limited by slow biological evolution, couldn't compete, and would be superseded,”
