Summary/Abstract: Leaving the Dark Ages aside, human intelligence has always been treading the adventurous paths of evolution. Intrigued by the limits of human creation and creativity, starting from the antiquity, theorists and practitioners have placed before themselves an (im)possible task to create such intelligence that would outreach human genius, but still be the servant of human mankind. However, can the creator control his own creation? Inspired by the same dilemma, the authoress of this paper will plunge into the rich well of (science) fiction and analyse its prophetic effects on (de)humanising reality. The closing sentences will reveal how prognostic were/are the literary writers in terms of the good/bad influence of rapid technological progress on the dominant ethical viewpoints and social and economic relations.
