<\/a> Sojourners magazine has two pieces highlighting works of science fiction that explore religious themes: \u201cThis World and the Next<\/a>\u201d and \u201cSpiritually-Inflected Science Fiction<\/a>\u201c. In addition, Paul Levinson has his latest post up about Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles<\/a>. I love the way the show<\/a> is exploring the parallels between programming an artificial intelligence and raising a child. A terminator from the future seems to be trying to develop its own Skynet, presumably before the original one can be developed. I think what is going on is that there are AIs in the future that want peace with humans, and they want to alter the past (our present) in order to give the first genuine artificial intelligence a better upbringing<\/em>, so that it won\u2019t decide to destroy humanity. And so they\u2019ve enlisted the help of a child psychologist! What a great show<\/a>!<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/tracker\/7622297540113836091-1789598724170244447?l=exploringourmatrix.blogspot.com\")
