_Blade Runner_ stands as the greatest science fiction film ever made. Debate it if you like, but I'm not interested. However, there’s something else to consider. This Ridley K. Dick creation feels incredibly relevant today. As we become absorbed in constant streams of online content and endlessly scroll through our devices, fixated on sharing images of ourselves, every facet of human existence is being copied, refined, automated, improved, strengthened, mechanized, digitized, analyzed by Google, subjected to quantum processes, manipulated at the genetic level, monitored by the NSA, and will soon overtake us entirely. Even Harrison Ford, who seems remarkably fit for his age, won’t be able to prevent it! The ultimate irony is that we, as reckless, self-absorbed custodians of this damaged planet, are completely accountable. In fact, a future controlled by self-regulating technological cyborgs possessing massive amounts of artificial intelligence would actually be an advancement. The androids are rescuing the world! Run! _Blade Runner_ functions as both a dated warning and a potential vision of the future. Were you already aware of this? If so, proceed. Appreciate your automated vehicles and simulated outdoor experiences.
