The present study aims to analyze Os Passageiros do Futuro, by Wilson Rocha, from the perspective of Gary Wolfe (1979) in The Known and The Unknown: The Iconography of Science Fiction, focusing mainly on the robot icon. As a theoretical contribution, the contributions of critics such as Henschel, et al ( 2021), Goodbody (2021), Araújo (2022; 2014), Wolfe (2016) and Ginway (2005) are considered, while critics who address characteristics of CF, with focus on iconographic fictional elements that lead the reader to reflect on aspects such as the impacts of the excessive use of technology on the environment. In addition, through the characters Grande Bolha and Log, it is proposed to understand how the robot icon often portrays social and cultural characteristics that dialogue directly with the impacts caused by technological advances in society as a whole.
