THE SENSITIVITY OF HUMANANITY
In bladerunner there is deteroartion between what it means to be human and what it means to be a repicant. In the story it gets hard to determine the difference between who is a replicant and who is a human. The replicants become extremely more advanced that certain tests which determine who is replicant and who is human becomes essentially inefficient. One scene in the movie shows the test running longer than anticipated because of how advanced these replicants are. Also we can see the replicants even gaining human values, such as through ROY's final act of mercy toward Deckard. We can see there there is no longer clear distinction, which further implies how sensitive humanity is as a whole because of replicable it is in the film
HUMAN MIND IN THE BODY
In Neuromancer this can be seen through cyberspace, where the human mind detached from the physical body and just operates as data. One of the main characters, Case, feels to be the most alive when he is not in the cyberspace and is in the physical world, this shows how being alive and being human can not be resembled truly through technology. So those who go through cyberspace lose a sense of what it means to be human. This basically can raise concern on whether or on not
TECHNOLOGICAL ALTERATIONS
Both of these show how humanity is not a concept which is easily altered and is very easily challenged by technology. In Bladerunner we can see how replicants challenge humans to dive deeper and reflect on qualities which make them human and not just surface level aspects. And Neuromancer shows how taking the mind out of the human body is not the same reflection on what the natural human experiences. It shows how technology can not replicate every human ability. We must consider how much we try to alter humanity with technology because we can truly replicate the human experience
