Blade Runner marathon & thoughts on fictional intersections

Kaziel 🌐 in More Human Than Human

Today I started a Blade Runner marathon, both movies plus the spinoffs. I don't consider Blade Runner to be a "source" material for me. However, there are a lot of similarities and parallels to the world I remember in my own memories, and I would probably be considered a "replicant" in the sense that I had enough human features: I could bleed, feel pain, and I did look human "enough".

Blade Runner and the book it is based off of, Philip K. Dick's "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" did inspire many subsequent works on robots. I did find many of the themes and ideas explored in these works to be relatable to my own experiences and memories.

That said, do either of these works resonate with you? Aside from PKD's novel and the BR franchise, what works of fiction did you find relatable to your own experiences as a robot or artificial lifeform?
