The film and the American drama versions of Westworld share some narrative programs

which could be called narrative“ patterns”. They secure the continuity between the original and the adapted versions

and as a form of intertextuality

they stress the elements in programmatic references. In science-fiction texts

“ patterns” are present in the value system as well as narrative programs

following a possible set routine. The posthuman shown in science-fiction texts does not refer to the future reality

but just demonstrates the reading interests in the current era based on a concern for the future. Therefore

the so-called posthuman is the synthesis of factual expectations of future

narrative patterns

and reading expectancy

and it expresses a transcendent humanity that is beyond the limits of ordinary humanity.
