| Re: Bladerunner: Was Deckard a replicant?
I've found my copy and finished it. It seems that there is a hell of a lot of difference between the book and film. But what to expect?
Anyway, in the book, its very deffinatly stated, on several occasions that deckard isn't a replicant. In fact. it goes out of its way to point out why he isn't, and that it doesn't make him a better being.
The unicorn doesn't feature at all, and the only dream mentioned is fom the empathy boxes. I found the book very niave and innocent, even although it tried to be grown up and cynical. No Gaff either. and there were eight replicants on earth. the first blade runner got two and got knocked out of action by a third. Deckard had to track down the other six and retire them. There was no precinct of replicant police on the city payroll, rather the replicants had set up a police station to help each other out. |
