Why "Blade Runner" Still Defines How We See Tech
Offline with Jon Favreau
Humanity and Creation in Blade Runner
This chapter examines the philosophical themes of humanity, identity, and creator responsibility in 'Blade Runner,' drawing parallels with contemporary technology and societal issues. By analyzing characters like Rachel and their struggles with existence and memory, the discussion emphasizes the emotional detachment of modern creators compared to the passionate narratives of the film. Personal anecdotes and reflections on isolation during the COVID-19 lockdown further illustrate the profound resonance between the film's dystopian themes and real-life experiences of alienation.
