Happy New Year!! New Year, New Beginnings

Happy New Year, dear readers!!  It's a new year and I wanted to take this opportunity to thank everyone for reading Cybernetic Dreams and for those stopping by for the first time, thank you!

 

I am looking forward to the new year!  Aren't you?

 

I have some more reading to do on robotics when I get around to it.  I am especially excited about a book I want to read that focuses on one of my favorite topics about robots: robot ethics.  There will be more on this within the next few weeks, I hope very soon.

Article on the 10 Most Technophobic Novels of All Time

Besides books about technophobia in literature, I should be reading the novels themselves that have this theme.  I've read Mary Shelley's Frankenstein in high school, and I've read just about all of Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451.  I know there is a novel version of Blade Runner, and that it's based on Philip K. Dick's book Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?

I do want to read Do Androids Dreams of Electric Sheep?  And now I know other novels I can read to broaden my knowledge of the different sides of technophobia because there is a list out there that can suggest these other titles.

A woman who works with AccreditedOnlineColleges.com sent me an article that might be of interest to me as well as some readers of Cybernetic Dreams.  It is called "10 Most Technophobic Novels of All Time."  The article and list include the two novels above that I've read, plus eight more.  I don't know if I will read all of them, but a few of them I should have read a long time ago, such as 1984 and Brave New World.  Each listed novel has a synopsis of the story and how it relates to technophobia.
