That is the book in the film
I burst out laughing in the theatre when I saw it

No doubt the film makers thought they were being very deep having a replicant read to an AI a story about an insane liar misleading the reader

>about an insane liar misleading the reader
you haven't read pale fire
it's a hypermetafictional text about the process of creation and how through the fictive and false a glimmer of truth appears by the very act. the fake narrator misinterpreting his own text and betraying small fragments of fact fits perfectly into how through Joe's false memory he comes to understand that Ana the memory architect herself IS the child.
>tfw you can't write your masterpiece about how the metareflexive elements of a text could correspond to the self consciousness of an AI evolving and trying to find its own authenticity
