This work sports the standard paraphernalia of science fiction, as well as human genetic engineering and digitized reproducible personality- consciousnesses. This self-re-cognizing about the relationality of self-existence is amply illustrated in Richard Morgan's Altered Carbon (2002). Imaginative expression serves as a means for reflection on humanity as such. The recent sub-genre of science fiction, which appears with Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (1819), has continuously grown in breadth and scope the stuff of science fiction a generation ago has become part and parcel of today's fiction (computers, cell phones, etc.).

The relation between philosophy and literature has been historically contestable. ![]()
