🤓☝ That didn’t happen in the the novel though
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.
But we got tears in rain instead.
For sure. I’m not complaining. I like both the book and the film even though they’re quite different. Or maybe because of it.
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
What a sweet tradition! 😊

See…this is what teenage cyber bulling should be instead of catty bitches calling someone fat over and over.
That reminds me of this FASCINATING deep dive by Innuendo Studies on agency / protagony. Warning: while not technically NSFW… caution is still advised.
