The master thesis focuses on the depiction of technological progress in the novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick and selected short stories from the collection The Complete Robot by Isaac Asimov. The theoretical part defines the genre of science fiction and provides an overview of its history. It also explains how technological progress and artificial intelligence have typically been portrayed in science fiction. The paper subsequently examines and compares how the two authors portray advanced technologies, particularly robots and androids.
