Hi everyone :) I was wondering if anyone would be interested in chatting about things similar to Blade Runner/Philip K Dick? I’ve read pretty much all of his books that I get my hands on, but am sadly hitting the point where it’s an event when I find one I’ve not already read. :)
Do any other Science Fiction writers or films scratch the same itch? :)
To throw one of his own into the discussion: We Can Build You is fantastic - much slower, but explores androids, and their impact on the human characters. :)
Have you seen Ex Machina? I really enjoyed it and found it unsettling in a good way.
Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson
Also Alien and Aliens appear to take place in the same universe as Blade Runner.
Awesome! Thank you I’ll definitely add Snow Crash to the list! :)
No kidding?! I didn’t realise that was a thing! Awesome, I’d be up for rewatching them to find nods and links! :) Thank you, that’s really neat
Have you tried Neuromancer by William Gibson?
This is absolutely a correct answer. I recognize how important it is to the world I love visiting in my mind, but for some reason the book just never clicked for me. The way it assumes I understand the world I’ve been dropped into and does very little hand holding was part of my problem, but there was something else. Anyways, interesting book and clearly the inspiration for so much of the media I consume today
