Somebody warn her, if you see her, that Deckard is after her...

What the.....?

At least this is not boring. No androids or flying police cars yet. Sorry, replicants.

Much has happened in pop culture since then, still as good a concept as it always was.

Sadly, I did in fact know it was this year. :P I wasn't quite sure of the exact date so thank you fishbaits.

The replicant Pris was created today, 14 of Febuary, 2016. Jezuz man, it's written in plain english, with a picture.

Well, there is still a bit to wait until Bubblegum Crisis starts;)

I still don`t get it!!!

Let me ask you a simple question: Have you ever seen Blade Runner?

The movie Blade Runner? Harrison Ford? Replicants? Hot girl replicant >>> Pris was created in the fictional world of Blade Runner today. Nothing ringing a bell? :P

Obviously if you havn't seen Blade Runner then I could see why you might be confused.

I think he's trolling;)

Either they haven`t seen BladeRunner, or read Do Androids dream of electric Sheep, or worse, they thought this was some silly post about creationism ;)

Ah, Blade Runner! Well, tried to watch the movie a few times, but couldn`t get over more than a fourth or maybe half of the movie. It was such a bad and boring movie.

Is Pris' creation day mentioned in the book? It's been a long time since I read it.

Eons since read it too.
I recall that she was (obviously) mentioned in the book, but little else lol.
May read it again, once get through current mountain of books that is ;)

The book is set in January 2021, but apart from that I don't think there are any dates mentioned. So that date is theoretically possible but highly unlikely. More probably the movie's got a different date. (It's been a while since I've seen the movie; I prefer the book immensely.)

It always fascinates me to see how sci-fi writers' predictions come true (or don't) based on their timelines. In this case, it was 53 years ahead of the Space Race, so we'd of course already colonized Mars. We've still got a couple of years on that one, but I think we're going to miss the mark. On the bright side, we haven't had the great Atomic-Era fear of World War Terminus that's made the planet a barren wasteland, so that's something. I wasn't really looking forward to having to wear a lead codpiece around all day.
