Week 9

This week we made use of the lecture time to watch the movie Bladerunner.

Bladerunner was made from the paranoid and reality-challenging literary work of Phillip K. Dick, author of the novel "Do Androids Dream of Electronic Sheep"

Common themes in Dick;s work include:

• Artificial intellegence
• Cities out of control
• Post-industrial Dystopia

Other of Dick's novels include Ubik, A Scanner Darkly, and Flow My Tears, the Policeman Said.Movies made from Dick's stories include: Total Recall, Minority Report, Next and Paycheck.

Outlines of our written assessment (Item 2) were due this week so no tutorial tasks were carried out
