Post-Humanistic World Explored in the Selected Episodes of the Netflix Show ‘Love, Death and Robots’

Abstract

Human beings are the only species who only caused harm to the planet. We live against the natural mode and this has caused unexplainable destruction. There is a possibility of a world without humans and this can be beneficial for all other species. The presence of creatures beyond the expanse of our planet and the creation of certain living things by humans themselves for the intended development in certain fields is explored in the mentioned animated show. A post-humanistic world can turn out to be beneficial as well as destructive for any living being, especially human beings. With the growth of technology, an AI takeover, a possible creation of a new creature and many more things can occur. A world without humans could be a paradise for other living beings. A transhuman world with limited people and more years of life is also explored in this show. Even if there happens to be a sudden disappearance of all the two-legged beings, the damage caused is irreversible and all the ones breathing will have to face it. This paper presents the post-humanistic world explored in the animated series and the possible ways in which our world could end up in the future. Most of the events include scenarios where humans dig their own grave and to be exact, it has already begun. With the increase in calamities both natural and man-made, the deadline to our existence is soon to be reached.
