So regrading the second prompt and consciousness and machines, I think an interesting topic is the idea of a Chinese Room. It's a pretty fascinating idea that suggests that perhaps a machine could totally mimic consciousness without possessing it. The theme also comes up in Blindsight pretty significantly, which we might discuss here at some point. For next club, I'm gonna vote for Fantastic Planet for a nice change of pace.
