The focus of this article is Yoko Taro’s NieR: Automata in general and its four main characters—androids 2B and 9S as well as machines Adam and Eve—in particular. Following their evolution in the game, I intend to show that they serve its author as a tool with which to propose that the sense of absurd, and the sense of life’s meaninglessness around which their world is created, can be fought with selflessness.

This essay proposes a re-reading of Chris Columbus’s film Bicentennial Man (1999) as a critique of transhumanism. Construing the robot protagonist, Andrew Martin, as a metaphor of the human being, the essay argues that the series of modifications he undergoes is a reversed version, as it were, of transformations postulated in Nick Bostrom’s “Letter from Utopia” and the Transhumanist Declaration—the famous manifestos of transhumanism. Consequently, the film is interpreted as an affirmation of humanity defined by conservative opponents of transhumanism.
PL
Artykuł proponuje odczytanie filmu Chrisa Columbusa Człowiek przyszłości (Bicentennial Man) (1999) jako krytykę transhumanizmu. Rozpatrując głównego bohatera — androida znanego jako Andrew Martin — jako metaforę człowieka, artykuł postuluje spojrzenie na modyfikacje, które przechodzi tytułowy bio-mechaniczny „człowiek przyszłości” w kontekście „odwrócenia” transformacji opisywanych w Deklaracji Transhumanistycznej oraz w słynnym „Liście z Utopii” Nicka Bostroma — jednego z czołowych przedstawicieli transhumanizmu. Przyjęte założenia pozwalają na „konserwatywne” odczytanie Człowieka przyszłości, jako swoistej afirmacji człowieczeństwa.
