The uncanny valley is a term used to describe the feeling of unease or revulsion that some people experience when they encounter a robot that is too human-like. This feeling is often attributed to the fact that the robot is not quite human enough, but also not quite machine enough. As a result, the robot falls into an uncanny valley, where it is neither one thing nor the other.
Ditcham's novel explores the uncanny valley in a number of ways. First, the novel follows the story of a woman who is replaced by a robot double. This replacement leads to a number of psychological and emotional problems for the woman, as she struggles to come to terms with her new reality.
Second, the novel explores the nature of humanity. Through the character of the woman, Ditcham asks the question of what it means to be human. Is it simply a matter of having a physical body? Or is there something more to it?
Robot or Me is a thought-provoking and unsettling novel that explores the nature of humanity and the future of artificial intelligence. It is a must-read for anyone interested in science fiction, artificial intelligence, or the future of humanity.
