    Did the question of androids dreaming of electric sheep actually get answered in the novel? 🤔

      Only implicitly, total ripoff.

    A lot of what happened in the movie didn’t happen in the novel.

    And the whole Mercerism thing isn’t even in the movie despite being a huge part of the novel.

    He was also deeply paranoid and delusional, since he was high on speed most of the time. Don’t see “blindly supporting police” in his works actually, any form of authority is usually portrayed of having bad intentions. Although his protagonists are often some form of cop, they are usually in conflict with their colleagues in some form.

    Most of his novels are basically bog standard 1950s sci-fi, but with a weird metaphysical twist that completely turns everything on its side by the end. The characters are empty vessels, but it probably doesn’t matter.

    The guy wrote some mind-bending shit, for sure, but the world is a very different place from the 60s (when he wrote do androids dream, for example)

      Valis is very upsetting if you understand Phil’s upbringing, history with drugs and counter-culture, home life and his abusive relationship with sanity.

  Every night, as me and my wife are going to sleep, I lean over and whisper into her ear, “It’s too bad you’re not going to live. But then again, who does?”

    Oh, it’s the D.E.N.N.I.S. system:

    Demonstrate Value

    Engage Physically

    Nurture Dependence <- YOU ARE HERE

    Neglect Emotionally

    Inspire Hope

    Separate Entirely

    That movie is so slept on, it’s honestly one of my favorites. The book is really good too, I love the dialogue.

    I mean, they are organic, so yeah, it’s not impossible one could create offspring with another replicant

    Actually, her having a child proves Deckard was one all along.

    • JamesTBagg@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      No it doesn’t. How does it prove Deckard is a replicant versus proving Tyrell Corps had become just that good at replicating life. In both Blade Runner movies to prove something was replicant they had to get electron microscope close to find printing on cells. Perhaps Rachael was just that human. Unless it was explained somewhere I missed.
