Well actually, I think it's a good piece of literature in large part because of its clarity and succinctness, so if you really feel you should read it it's a relatively trivial undertaking (it's only about 100 pages).

By the way I read the older translation which is considered better than the new one, I hear.

Blade Runner, the movie which was based on the novel, is more popular than the novel itself, so people generally watch it first and then go into the novel expecting a very similar story, but they're actually pretty different since the movie is a very loose adaptation. Both explore what it means to be human in a world where robots are nigh indistinguishable from them, but whereas the movie ends up being more of a meditation on mortality, the novel has this massive subplot of two competing religions, one for and by humans and another for and by robots, which is completely absent from the movie and thus takes people by surprise, in no small part because it's somewhat convoluted and difficult to follow (at least I thought it was).

Yeah, a little, because people praise a book a funking retarded junkie wrote while fucked out of his mind for shock value and people fucking praise it like it's a work of art...oh wait... you must be one of those faggots who thinks two drops of paint parallel to each other on a wall is art and is worth $10 Billion because "It's a reflection of society".

lol

>>	Anonymous Thu May 15 08:45:07 2014 No.4894210 >>4890712 That's Benthamite Utilitarianism. Mill is a bit more elitist, what with his competent judges and higher pleasures and all.

First book actually had a pseudo anthropological approach. I don't know if if's "true", because I don't give a shit, that's not what I read it for (i even skipped the second part halfway through). Buddy loaned me other books of his, but I haven't read them yet.

>>	Anonymous Thu May 15 18:07:37 2014 No.4895568 >>4895561 What exactly were you reading them for? They're a curiosity of anthropological fraud and cult creation. There's no basis in any reality outside of what he came up with when he was tripping balls.
