Retrofitting Blade Runner: Issues in Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner and Philip K. Dick’s Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
“The surest sign that the Blade Runner had been embraced by the nation’s literati, however, came in 1991, when the Bowling Green State University Popular Press published an entire book devoted to the film.
Titled Retrofitting Blade Runner: Issues in Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner and Philip K. Dick’s Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep ?, this impressive academic volume was edited by Judith B. Kerman and looked at “the multitude of texts and influences which converge in Ridley Scott’s film.”
Among the book’s nineteen well-written, scholary essays were such thoughtful contributions as Kerman’s own “Technology and Politics in the Blade Runner Dystopia,” Gregg Rickman’s “Philip K. DIck on Blade Runner: They Did Sight Stimulation on my Brain,” William M. Kolb’s “Blade Runner Film Notes,” and David Desser’s “Race, Space and Class: The Politics of the SF Film from Metropolis to Blade Runner.” (Paul M. Sammon in Future Noir - The Making of Blade Runner)
