How do humans get along with robots?

The city of "Beijing Folding" is set up in different districts similar to the metropolis, with the division between the ground and the underground. The social operation of robots is actually a metaphor for the operation of human society. How the ruler representing the supreme rule treats robots will actually treat humans. Humans disagree, thinking that they only have the right to shoot robots. Humans in the metropolis are also divided into several categories, including those who have benefited from robots, those who have lost their jobs because of robots (most of these people are low-level people who rely on their hands instead of their brains), and those who fight for equal rights for robots. Was Mattie created to destroy the world or to rebuild it? In DRE's point of view, "reconstruction" means destruction. Re-establishing the regime is bound to destroy the current life. In his view, probably anyone and anything can be destroyed. In fact, the previous part was speculating whether Rock was actually a robot. He had human emotions behind him, loyalty to his father, and jealousy, so he had to make things difficult for Mattie, or he could be programmed by a single program. Set: protect the father, remove other hazards. He just does this. Wouldn't this be a little more thought-provoking? How do humans get along with the robots they make? Is it to be ruled or ruled, or can robots actually have human feelings? Did DRE get emotional when he finally saw Rock dying to save him, did he get emotional, did he loosen up on the idea of ​​"he's just a robot"? However, Rock in the play is still a human setting, but it is, otherwise who would be the one who opposes robots? So how do humans view robots? There is a real relationship between Kenichi and his uncle. After meeting Mattie, the pure Kenichi is also in a good and sincere relationship with Mattie, so in Mattie's brain connection database (the robot was killed), he turned to destroy the human race. In the end, she was awakened by Kenichi. Mattie keeps asking who am I? am i human? During the argument with Rock, as a robot, she shouted that she is human, which also involves a sense of disapproval of her own identity, because the concept of human beings is deeply ingrained: being human is better than everything else. (It’s not like people to people, the sense of superiority has always existed.) So, who is Mattie’s me is actually Osamu Tezuka asking who is human? If human beings are DRE, then Mattie is the machine that destroys the metropolis; if human beings are Kenichi, then Mattie is Mattie who makes machines and humans live in peace... So, who is Mattie? who I am? who are you?

    Title Card: "Every epoch dreams its successor." - Jules Michelet

  • Duke Red: [is wearing ancient Babylonian-style clothes and standing on a platform. The background behind him is in Sepia tone and clouds are moving about] At this moment we as a nation are about to touch the stars! I tremble at the honour of announcing the culmination of mankind's history of intellectual and scientific achievement. Yesterday our power spanned the Earth, today it can illuminate the heavens! May it stand forever! Our Ziggurat!
