I redrew this from the cover of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep by Philip K. Dick. It's in 4K, you're welcome.

@ptoothfish thanks I had forgotten about that

"On Earth, owning real animals has become a fashionable status symbol, both because mass extinctions have made living animals rare and expensive and because of an accompanying cultural push for greater empathy. Poor people can only afford realistic electric robotic imitations of live animals, often going to great lengths to conceal from their neighbors the animal's false nature. Most of the world observes a new technology-based religion called #Mercerism, which uses "empathy boxes" to link users simultaneously to a virtual reality of collective suffering, centered on a martyr-like character, Wilbur Mercer, who eternally climbs up a hill while being pelted with stones. Acquiring high-status animal pets and linking in to empathy boxes appear to be the only two ways characters in the story strive for existential fulfillment."

Minor mind blow at #finncon2024. #Deckard from #BladeRunner / #DoAndroidsDreamOfElectricSheep is pronounced almost the same as #Descarte. The latter being the philosopher who pondered the nature of reality, subjectiveness etc. Maybe everyone else saw that but I only got that now.

Watching Blade Runner 2049. I've never seen the original Blade Runner film, though I have read the book it was based on (Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?), so I was tickled pink to see the reference to it in the first 40 minutes.

'What happened?' asked K, after learning that Deckard retired.
'Probably got what he wanted,' said Gaff, placing an origami sheep on the table.

Deckard finally got his sheep!

I am in passport control. I can see my face on a screen. The technology recognises me and lets me through. I scan codes showing my vaccination status and recent Covid test results. The machines assess the data regarding my health and microbiology. Through into the waiting room, people are staring into little screens. A strangely large number have the camera flipped, and are capturing their faces at different angles, as if they've forgotten what they look like. I open my laptop and join in. I give my details to a company to enter the digital realm. Adverts tailored to my personality pop up. They know me better than I know myself.

This is 2022. And 2022 is a Philip K Dick novel.

#AllStarTrek I like the whole #DoAndroidsDreamOfElectricSheep vibe of this episode.

It's, like, the completely mundane theft of the self for mega-corporate benefit, all supported by an insane bureaucracy, with the oblivious workers just starting to scratch the surface of what they've lost.

This week, the ReShoot crew joins up with Dodge Movie Podcast to fix one of Ed's favorite movies of all time. Find out how that went with the link in our bio...

New on Instagram: How To Build An #Android: The True Story Of #PhilipKDick 's Robotic Resurrection. (2012) - In late December 2005, a young roboticist on his way to @google Headquarters left an overnight bag on a flight between Dallas and Las Vegas. In it was the fully functional head belonging to the android replica of Philip K. Dick, cult #sciencefiction writer and #counterculture guru. It has never been recovered.

"No one can win against kipple," he said, "except temporarily and maybe in one spot, like in my apartment I've sort of created a stasis between the pressure of kipple and nonkipple, for the time being. But eventually I'll die or go away, and then the kipple will again take over. It's a universal principle operating throughout the universe; the entire universe is moving toward a final state of total, absolute kippleization.”

Do robots dream of greater things? do they mourn what was & is to be? 🤖

I can’t say whether they do or don’t, but I can say I adore great robot media. I made this Sad Robot Alter inspired by some of them & auctioned it off on twitter.

I hope y’all are doing well.
Keep an eye out my friends.

@GottaLaff

Some days, I could just jump off a cliff.

This reality is fast becoming an amalgamate of all the negative #utopias I read years ago:

#1984,
#Fahrenheit451,
#TheMatrix,
#SecondVariety,
#Wargames, #TheCompleteRobot, #Terminator including its #Skynet,
#Robocop,
#DoAndroidsDreamOfElectricSheep? (#Bladerunner),
and
#TheHandMaidsTale.
Hopefully, we are not also heading for #TheMinorityReport already (#AGI?)

These are only the ones out of the top of my head.

@rat I will forthwith read Dick's #DoAndroidsDreamOfElectricSheep ( #bookstodon ). Thanks for priming my brain to eventually actually download some of shinmera's asdf packages, I half remember it! Convincing me of something is a collaborative and long-term effort ;p

Na da hat mich der ben_ aufs Kramen im Bücherregal gebracht

Und das wo die Tage auch noch der neue Daniel Suarez rausmommen soll :)

1968 Philip K Dick

1975 John Brunner

1984 William Gibson

1992 Neal Stephenson

So. Uhr Hier fehlt mir jetzt irgendwie der passende Titel im 14 Jahre Zeitraum zwischen Snow Crash und Daemon

Is 2023 the year I finally write the Replicant-as-Crip. Blade Runner/DADoES, PKD-Gnostic dis/ability allegory essay? It's been brewing for years, I should haul it out of the dark of my thought-cavern and see whether it's done.
