La narrazione videoludica dell’IA in Horizon Forbidden West

Abstract

The article offers an example of an analysis of the representation of artificial intelligence in the video game context with the video game Horizon: Forbidden West. Following the theoretical framework of the sociology of the imaginary, the AI is analysed as a monster, from myth to disaster narrative. The ways in which these concepts can influence the collective imagination and reflections on the post-human are then discussed, offering a positive perspective on the technological and cultural future.
