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. :)
Yeah I definitely agree about dropping you in to a lived in world with it’s own culture, slang, and colloquialisms. I ended up loving it and the next two in the series. It was kind of amazing seeing so many cyberpunk themes originating in one text. At the same time seeing how you could say that Neuromancer was set in the same world as Blade Runner, almost like a fan fic, just in a different part of the world.
I picked up Mona Lisa Overdrive and the other one also because I was so positive that I had found my series. Might have to give it a third attempt at some point. Appreciate you input.
