Are Hosts, Replicants, and robot clones closer than we think?

Black Mirror already uncomfortably aligns with the real world, but we might be even closer to more advanced concepts from that show and others, like Westworld...
Westworld is such an awesome show, with really deep and layered writing. It gets in your head, you know? The problem is, after that second season finale, we no longer have any idea what the F is going on! Who is alive? Who is dead? Who is a host? Who is just a computer program? Has the show jumped the robot shark? Instead of watching further, I might just play with this Westworld maze instead.
At least with this maze, I can be sure there is a good ending and a way out, unlike the TV show. Because with J.J. Abrams involved as Executive Producer, this probably won’t end well for viewers. The cast polyresin maze replica is designed from the actual prop that was used in the show and supplemented with digital assets. It measures 5 1/2″ in diameter, and you get both the maze and the logo display stand.
It’s the only J.J. Abrams maze you are ever likely to start and then finish, without spending years worth of seasons to do so. And you won’t feel frustrated and betrayed by the time you complete it. I’m a little sad they didn’t offer this on the inside of a scalp, but it’s still a cool collectible. Grab one over at ThinkGeek today for $49.99.
Spoilers ahead for both seasons of Westworld.

Westworld fans who want to spend some time in Delos’ synthetic world have a new mobile game to check out. In the game, players act as a Delos trainee running a simulation that gives increasing responsibility over Westworld.
In this cartoon-style simulation, you must work to keep the guests satisfied and the hosts in line. We would assume that at some point the hosts go off script and try and kill everyone.
The HBO and Warner Bros. game has already landed on Android and iOS devices, so what are you waiting for? It’s free to play, but as with most mobile games today, some in-app purchases will be offered.

We all love Westworld, but its main premise -- that we'll be able to build robots identical to human in the near future -- still seems impossibly far-fetched. That said, a company called Engineered Arts is definitely exploring the edges of the uncann...
