"I don't know why he saved my life. Maybe in those last moments he loved life more than he ever had before. Not just his life, anybody's life, my life. All he'd wanted were the same answers the rest of us want. Where did I come from? Where am I going? How long have I got? All I could do was sit there and watch him die."

"Blade Runner was the film that let an entire generation know that you could pick up the pieces of the 20th century and rebuild a future where dreams were still possible, even if everything around those dreams was rank. We didn't have a word for cyberpunk back then. We hadn't heard of William Gibson or Bruce Sterling. We didn't understand what was coming: the Internet, the end of the Cold War, the rise of feudal corporations, the blurring of borders. But we had an ominous sense of what was in store and Ridley Scott confirmed our hunch."

—Steven Kotler, "Tears in the Rain," Giant, March 2006
