Le Regard Libre N° 23 - Jonas Follonier
Westworld, a television series produced by HBO (to whom we owe the worldwide success Game of Thrones), whose first season aired in 2016, is unlike any other series. It doesn't focus on sex or romance, nor on police plots that all look the same. No, above all, it asks philosophical questions.
This futuristic series based on the film Mondwest (1973) features an amusement park staffed by androids, immersing visitors in a Wild West setting. The setting brings viewers face to face with the very present future of robots, and makes them wonder whether they have a conscience, are alive, or whether their emotions are as real as ours or just pseudo-emotions.
