Sinossi
Nel 1992 la Guerra Mondiale ha ucciso milioni di persone, e condannato all'estinzione intere specie, costringendo l'umanità ad andare nello spazio. Chi è rimasto sogna di possedere un animale vivente, e le compagnie producono copie incredibilmente realistiche: gatti, cavalli, pecore. Anche l'uomo è stato duplicato. I replicanti sono simulacri perfetti e indistinguibili, e per questo motivo sono stati banditi dalla Terra. Ma a volte decidono di confondersi tra i loro simili biologici. A San Francisco vive un uomo che ha l'incarico di "ritirare" gli androidi che violano la legge, ma i dubbi intralciano a volte il suo crudele mestiere, spingendolo a chiedersi cosa sia davvero un essere umano.

An android walks into a bar. "Hey!", the bartender says, "Only people with feelings are allowed in here! You need empathy in order to be in a joke like this, or at least have something people can relate to." "Oh, don't worry", the android replies, "I definitely feel empathy." Relieved, the bartender in Leggi tutto
I'd watched Blade Runner several times, but hadn't read Philip K. Dick's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep. The book and movie don't entirely match up, but they are both thought-provoking and entertaining in their own right. Fans of the film will notice serious discrepancies in the book as I did ( Leggi tutto
Is Deckard an android? "An android," he said, "doesn't care what happens to another android. That's one of the indications we look for.""Then," Miss Luft said, "you must be an android."That stopped him; he stared at her. This is all I could think about when reading. I really looked for evidence to bac Leggi tutto
