I dug this. it was a bit more my kinda sci-fi than the last one. I enjoy when AI in stories is used to examine the human condition. On the prompt on consciousness, I think a machine could experience emotion. The brain is basically a computer yeah? From what I've picked up we learn to feel based on how we are cultured, our brains are writing program as we grow and develop. As we learn more about the brain and A.I. I don't see why we wouldn't be able to create a similar system in a machine. I don't know enough about neuroscience or A.I. to know if this line of thought holds weight or if it's just made up of misrepresented facts in pop culture/science. I really don't have a vote either way on next weeks pick. I saw Fantastic Planet years ago and don't really remember much about it, but I'd be down to watch it again.
