Chapter 4

These are only some of the questions that I possed while reading the first few chapters of Blade Runner...


1. Why is Rick Deckard in so much more of a good mood than his wife? And why does he think it's such a problem?


2. Who (or what?), exactly, is Buster Friendly and his so-called "news team?"


3. Is Dick making a notion of America's imphasis, even dependence, on media culture?


4. How many 'humans' are actually left? Is it all that 'crowded?'


5. Who started 'the WAR' and why was it fought in the first place?


Note: I did think it highly fascinating that our protagonist, Rick Deckard, owns (and seems very intrigued by) an Electric Sheep of his very own while opposing the growth and production of androids. Then, to further intensify his opposition, he has an epiphany about how similar his electric sheep (and all foe-animals in general) are, in sense, androids themselves with no 'expression'.
