  • “I think Sebastian, therefore I am.” - very powerful quote in movie 
  • Very important 
  • Can apply to humans as well 
  • Occurred during the Nexus phase: in which the world built robot replicants that looked and behaved like humans 
  • Police officers or the “blade runners” were needed to keep these replicant robots out of earth because they were dangerous 
  • The superhuman Nexus 6 replicant robots were designed to fight endeavors in planets other than earth, but when they began a mutiny in the colony of another planet, they were banned from Earth 
  • Setting is Los Angeles 2019

  • Holden (one of the blade runners) interviews a new employee using a special device that can detect bodily and emotional responses to certain questions — this invention has a realistic possibility of developing for the future
