\noriginal film, Blade Runner, K.W. Jeter\u2019s trilogy of Blade Runner novels, and the short films Blade
\nRunner 2022, Blade Runner 2036, and Blade Runner 2048.<\/p>\n

\nencouraged to work in between and beyond.
\n1. Gender, sexuality, reproduction
\n2. Race, ethnicity, nationality
\n3. Reality, experience, their relation
\n4. Identity and authenticity
\n5. The nature of consciousness, of bodies
\n6. Human nature\/replicant nature, and the making of persons

\n8. Politics and power, government and law enforcement
\n9. Politics and society, the limits of the city, the expansion of colonies
\n10. Technology and commerce, social and ecological degradation
\n11. Allusions to writers and artists, in and out of Deckard\u2019s Las Vegas library, such as Graham\u00a0Greene, Franz Kafka, Vladimir Nabokov, Sergei Prokofiev, Mary Shelley, Robert Louis Stevenson,\u00a0Leonardo da Vinci, as well as Wallace\u2019s and others\u2019 religious references.<\/p>\n
