Technological monsters embody the loss of
control through the use of technology. Humans are comfortable as the pinnacle
of the food chain. Humankind dominates the other animals of the planet and exercises
god-like control over the environment. Like many rulers, fear of revolt accompanies
increasing power. Having subdued the animal kingdom and the land around us, attention
turns to the rapidly evolving world of machines. Each generation is created to
replicate more and more human functions under human control. What happens when
control is taken from us? What happens when a thinking entity other than ourselves
begins to make decisions? These are the concerns of technological monsters. Science
gone wrong.
