The Mechanical God: Machines in Science Fiction
I haven't had the opportunity to actually read this yet, but it looks like its going to be a valuable resource. Specifically there's a chapter called "from little buddy to big brother," which discusses AI in science fiction and how the AI-human relationship has developed in science fiction. While the relationship between robot and human isn't discussed in my text, the focus shift from robot/person interactions to robot/OWI interactions allows for a lot of the same discussions.

This article discusses the core principles discussed in the movie I, Robot, a loose adaptation of the concepts discussed in Asimov's book of short stories. Even though the concept of identity is not the primary focus of my paper, it contributes to the concepts I discuss, since the topic discussed is identity through agency.

The common perception of AI uses either Asimov's positive approach, or a more negative approach as exemplified in the Terminator. This image would be valuable to discuss the fear which Sea of Rust capitalizes on to set up its world.

This chapter in Ngugi's book focuses on the erasure of culture in a colonial setting. I could use this to talk about the colonial nature of the OWIs in Sea of Rust.

Since my paper discusses specifically the relationship between the concepts in Sea of Rust religious concepts, this article will be especially useful since it focuses on the religious implications of the genre.
