Thoughts on Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep.
Posted on October 24th, 2012
Last week I finished reading “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep” by Phillip K Dick. A long overdue read as Bladerunner, the 1982 Ridley Scott film adapted from the book, has been one of my favorite films since I can recall seeing it.
I must admit, part of my motivation for going back to read the short novel was the rumor that R.Scott is planning and writing stage of a sequel to the original BladeRunner. It was my hope to get glean some kind of character, theme, or loose end that might give a clue as to what could drive a sequel.

Recipe #1: Fav Summer Salad

In the wee distant age of the 90s, the interwebs were still in a state of free frontier. The plots had not been subdivided. The horses of individual creativity remained un-corralled. In many ways, this was most exemplified by ‘Vanity Sites’; those lone outpost of personal journals and meandering diaries that were the evolutionary ancestor to the blog.
