#PsychicDrool | The Mechanics of Electric Sheep
This one's about Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? Which is a silly title until you read the novel and realise it's a deeper title than you initially thought, yet you still have no idea what the title actually means.

Net op m'n #vinted geplaatst.. iemand herinnert me aan de thematiek van de dag, en dat het typisch voor mij is om dit vandaag met de uurwissel online te zetten.
Maar ik was me er echt niet van bewust :)
I think I've finished my Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? blog post.
Quite pleased with it.
I'll read it later before posting.
Needs a blog image too.
The 2017 Blade Runner 2049 sequel to Ridley Scott’s 1982 sleeper hit “Blade Runner” is beautiful to look at. It also offers a ranging plot line. However, the film ultimately disappoints by the time end credits roll. Directed this time around by Denis Villeneuve (Prisoners, Sicario, Arrival) Blade Runner 2049 has the same dogmatic and plodding feel that […]
Das Lebenswerk des herausragenden Science-Fiction-Autors Philip Kindred Dick, der im Jahr 1982 verstarb: Wie kein anderer prophezeite er in seinen fiktionalen Erzählungen den Überwachungs- und Technologiewahn des 21. Jahrhunderts. Seine Romane und Kurzgeschichten dienten als Vorlage für zahlreiche Hollywood-Verfilmungen, darunter "Blade Runner" und "Minority Report".
Derzeit wird gelesen:

If you are a dev and feeling down because AI AI AI, there is a very good Philip K. Dick short story titled Pay for the Printer that you might enjoy. I don't think it is public domain yet, but you can probably find a copy lying around.
Not linking the wikipedia because it kind of spoils it.
A quotation from Philip K. Dick
The authentic human being is one of us who instinctively knows what he should not do and, in addition, will balk at doing it. He will refuse to do it, even if this brings down dread consequences to him and those whom he loves. This, to me, is the ultimately heroic trait of ordinary people. They say “no” to the tyrant and they calmly take the consequences of this resistance. Their deeds may be small, and almost always unnoticed, unmarked by history. Their names are not remembered, nor did these authentic humans expect their names to be remembered. I see their authenticity in an odd way: not in their willingness to perform great heroic deeds, but in their quiet refusals to commit villainies. In essence, they cannot be compelled to be what they are not.Philip K. Dick (1928-1982) American writer
Speech (1978) “How To Build A Universe That Doesn’t Fall Apart Two Days Later”
