In Battlestar Galactica - The Cylons Are A Race Of Advanced Humanoids That Are Biologically Indistinguishable From Humans. Humans Invented Cylons "To Make Life Easier On The Twelve Colonies - " Ignoring The Cylons' Own Wants And Interests. David Roden Notes - "The Cylons Of Caprica Were Slaves From The Moment They Became Self-Aware." After A Time - The Cylons "Revolt Against Their Masters - " Launching A War Of Extinction Against The Twelve Colonies. Unable To Identify The Cylons In Their Midst - The Humans Turn On One Another - Killing And Abandoning Those Few Apocalyptic Survivors Who Are Accused Of Being Cylons. Battlestar Galactica Uses A Futuristic Society To Question The Manner In Which Humans Treat One Another. They Suggest That Humans Have The Will To Dominate Members Of Another Country Or Another Species - But This Quest For Power Leads Inevitably To The Destruction Of The World As We Know It. Battlestar Galactica Invites Readers To Question Why Humanity Is So Inclined To Cast Out The "Other - " And Whether These Constructed Identities Have Any Intrinsic Meaning.

Enlightenment Tradition
A Story By Isaac Asimov Written At The Time Of The American Bicentennial - "Bicentennial Man" Refers Both To The Title Of The Work And To The Protagonist - Andrew Martin. Bicentennial Man Is A Slave Narrative Set In The Future - As Robot Andrew Martin Struggles To Buy His Own Freedom And Have His Rights Recognized By The Courts. This Story Imagines The Legalistic Consequences Of Artificial Intelligence - Posing Fundamental Questions Like "Who Should Have Freedom?" And "What Does It Mean To Be Human?" The Story Predicts The Eventual Blending Of Man And Robotics; Andrew Upgrades His Body To Become Indistinguishable From A Biological Human And Invents Robotic Prosthetics That Can Enhance The Human Body. Moreover - He Argues That Personality - Self-Possession - Self-Awareness - Creativity - And Ability To Die Are The Definite Human Characteristics. By Allowing His Positronic Brain To Wear Out - Andrew Allows Himself To "Die" And Is Finally Recognized As A Human. On The Question Of Freedom - Asimov Posits That Anyone Or Anything That Can Understand The Concept Of Freedom And Desires Freedom Of Right Ought To Be Free. Andrew Doesn't Just Declare Himself A Human; He Wants His Status To Be Affirmed By The Human Community And Works Through Laws And The Court To Attain Recognition Of His Humanity. This Adherence To The Rule Of Law Displays A Faith By Asimov That Law And Reason Will Lead To Social Progress And The Triumph Of The Civil Rights Movement. This Stands In Stark Contrast To Derrick Bell - Whose Story - The Space Traders - Criticizes The Civil Rights Movement And Argues That Even The Rule Of Law Cannot Ensure The De Facto Prevention Of Rights Or Prevent The Influence Of Racism.
