Recent discussions in the humanities have largely centered on the technological convenience and social impact provided by artificial intelligence (AI), often sidelining the essential humanistic questions of existence and spirituality. Yet, the more an era is dominated by technological rationality, the more urgently literature must reaffirm its role as a unique space to explore the perennial issues of evil and suffering, finitude and transcendence, meaning and meaninglessness. This study examines the Coen brothers’ film No Country for Old Men, based on Cormac McCarthy’s novel, in order to illuminate the ontological function of literature that remains vital in the age of AI. The character Anton Chigurh’s “coin toss” embodies the intersection of chance and fate, while Sheriff Bell’s helplessness symbolizes the silence of God and the collapse of meaning. Moreover, the motif of memory and forgetting underscores the inscrutability of human experience, fundamentally distinct from AI’s data-oriented memory. By situating these themes within the framework of Western existential literature and philosophy (Dostoevsky, Camus, Kafka) alongside Eastern traditions (Buddhist impermanence, Daoist fate, Confucian order), this paper highlights the significance of literature and spirituality from a comparative world literature perspective. Ultimately, it argues that even in the age of AI, literature persists as a scholarly arena that probes the depths of human existence and the possibilities of transcendence—dimensions irreducible to technological paradigms.
