As Good As The Movie, In Its Own Way This is one of those stories I have been meaning to read for years (ever since viewing "Blade Runner," starring Harrison Ford/Rutger Hauer/Darryl Hannah).

I have been on an all-consuming sci-fi kick lately and this is by far the best thing I've read in the last few months.
