Commander Pirx

Áttekintés

The psychological thriller based on Stanislaw Lem’s work unravels in the present day or in the very near future. Western society is tired of the military ‘peace missions’ into conflict regions of third world countries. Too much blood and resources have flown into foreign desert sand. The one way out – both ethically and materially – is to replace human soldiers with robots. Artificial intelligence, which is not influenced by fear or vengeance, would make more rational decisions on the battlefield than humans. It would not need training, sleep or food. It could continue functioning even when it is severely injured and the casualties among the ‘machines’ would leave the public unmoved.
