Abstract
The paper aims to continue the reflection made by Professor De Lucas on the film Blade Runner about a ‘non-biological’ conception of the human condition, with the one offered by the sequel of that film, Blade Runner 2049, which proposes the emergence of the authentic ‘post-human condition’ from machines that are no longer manufactured but ‘engendered’ by other machines.
