"Pilgrim's Progress is an allegory of the spiritual journey" (metaphor)
ZEITGEIST

"the story captured the zeitgeist of the late 1960s"
Slavery
=Synths cannot say no, they are built to serve and get no reward for it
'your juts a stupid machine'
Polysemy
=coexistence of technology and humans
Slaves to society, slaves to technology
= Annita goes to check on Sophie she is taking over the mother role
Prostration
= if synths don't have feelings would they be treated as humans
no pain receptors therefore they are objects- consent is removed
Sci-fi deals with issues that cannot always be presented as they are too sensitive or to big of an idea to deal with
Steve Neil- Genre- repetion and difference- genre conventions
THIS IS AN ALTERNATIVE PRESENT
Humans is an example or 'hard scifi' it fits in with what we know
HOW IS HUMANS SCIFI

NARRATIVE:
binary opposition of Annitas reaction to Lauras reaction
binary opposition of ethnicity
slow zoom into Lauras face emphasis reaction
two seconds of silence showing shock
Laura blanks Annita
Annita is taking on stereotypically female roles
Diametric opposition = Two complete opposites
