"The machines are among us". With this warning, "Humanity's Children" embarks in an exploration of the relationship between man and machine throughout history. The discussion focuses on the 2003-2009 TV series "Battlestar Galactica", referring back to its many cultural predecessors (which go from the Bible and "Frankenstein" to "Terminator" and "Blade Runner") and to the machines in real life that could bring about the "singularity" - the day that machines take over the Earth.
