Book launch and illustrated talk with Piers Bizony, author of Robots on Screen. Since 1927, when Fritz Lang's coldly graceful ‘False Maria’ first mesmerised audiences in Metropolis, cinema has been obsessed with mechanical mirrors of humanity: cyborgs, androids, replicants, and robots that look and think almost like us.

For more than a century, filmmakers have used these creations to explore our deepest hopes and fears about technology, identity, and what it means to be human. Now, real-world robots and artificial intelligences are reshaping all of society. Join award-winning science writer Piers Bizony on a lavishly illustrated whirlwind tour of a century-old fictional movie genre that’s now become fact.

Part of our Sci-Fi Weekender in partnership with Hastings Book Festival.
