i read an article were that director said he was going to do all of his work on a titanium G4 from now on . he was stoked on the level of effects he could do with it in post rather than playing with the actual film to get that worn down cold raw look .
when is he going to direct his first feature that what i want to see , it's beyond me to imagine the kind of movie he could make . :shake: :shake: :shake: :shake:

i always thought it was Philip K Dicks - Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, but maybe it was called neuromancer in america.

Actually, PKD book "Do androids dream of electric sheep" became the Ridley Scott Blade Runner film. I think you are confusing the work of Philip K. Dick with William Gibson. Gibsons' work was very much informed by the futurist disutopia offered in "Do androids dream of electric sheep" , however they are spereate works to my knowledge. You may recall that Gibson offered for the first time in Neuromancer the term/concept 'cyberspace'.. very ahead of its time.

imho, i think that the concepts in VALIS , another of PKDs' works are the most mind-blowing.

kind of off topic, but along the VALIS lines here is a lecture given by Aldus Huxley, the author of "a brave new world" about using terrorism to make slaves of a population from march 20th, 1962.

Yay! PKD! Another one I like by him is "Eye in the Sky" where he deconstructs the paranoia of Americans, everything from religious self-rightiousness to female frigidity to fear of communism.... He wrote in sci-fi but his concepts and understanding of characters was way above the genre.

W Gibson, on the otherhand, wrote about rockstars, fashion models, and mercenaries with weapon implants. Typical 80's fluff. There's a brainless fightscene about every other chapter usually over a chip or a disc or something. "Cyberspace" ? yeah, we're all still using that word.... I think most of us just say "the internet" because it's a lot less pretentious.

'The Man In The High Castle' Philip K Dick, is a good one. about the possible future if the Nazis won the war.

My other suggestion for good original Sci-Fi would be the author Jack Vance, bags of imagination.
