<Abstract>
Over the long period of time, humans have continually made relationship with the tools and machines we have made to develop our civilization and society. As we are entering into the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution or the Post-human era, our relationship with machines has become one of the most important issues. In the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution or the Post-human era, more specifically in the age of Artificial Intelligence(AI), we are facing a fundamental confusion about the boundary between human and machine.
In this paper, I will contemplate the question of the coexistence of human and machine, more specifically human and AI. For my research, I choose two science fictions. One is Frankenstein, or the Modern Prometheus(1818) by Mary Shelly, and the other is Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?(1967) by P. K. Dick. In Frankenstein, we meet a scientist by the same name of the title who creates and brings life to a manlike monster that turns on him and eventually destroys his life into dystopia. In Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, we encounter future world living with androids in the earth of apocalyptic situation. By reading the two novels, I would like to explore the possibility of literary imagination of ethical responsibility for coexistence with artificial intelligence.
