On Caprica - Robots, Religion and Identity (Paperback)

A prequel to SyFy's critically acclaimed hit Battlestar Galactica, Caprica is billed as a science fiction family saga, pairing the best tradition of cerebral science fiction with a rich sense of the individual's role in history. On Caprica takes viewers beneath the surface, exploring identity, culture, and technology in the absorbing new show. Is intelligence--even the artificial kind--necessarily a function of identity? If Zoe is the Cylon Eve, who is her Adam? How does the hedonistic, doomed society created in Caprica draw from the best and worst of ancient Rome? And what does our society have in common with them both? The collection is edited by Jane Espenson, Caprica writer and co-executive producer. Her introductions offer a deeper glimpse at the show's themes, and a look behind the scenes.
