Philip K Dick managed to watch a part of #BladeRunner before it aired. This is what he wrote:
http://www.lettersofnote.com/2009/09/blade-runner-will-prove-invincible.html?m=1
"Nothing that we have done, individually or collectively, matches BLADE RUNNER. This is not escapism; it is super realism, so gritty and detailed and authentic and goddam convincing that, well, after the segment I found my normal present-day "reality" pallid by comparison."
And this is why #BladeRunner is considered the most influential work for #Cyberpunk.
It gave new life to a stagnant sci fi scene, overcrowded with space operas, white walls, boring uniforms and ray guns. Cyberpunk wouldn't be the same without it.
