I did not know that but to be fair, you spend a lot more time thinking about Dick than I do.

Not Theodore Sturgeon?

Speaking of Philip K. Dick, which film version of Blade Runner is considered to be the best. I saw the original a few times but it's been many years. If I were to go back and watch, there are now a ton of director's cuts and other versions. Is one considered the best? I figured I would ask a sci fi nerd like you.

director's cut is way better and has a little scene which explains everything and offers a bit more resolution. the scene features a piece of origami.

i think the name was inspired by sturgeon, a friend of vonnegut, but then the personal became vonnegut's alter unsuccessful ego, embodied by wild man philip k. dick.

I assume Theodore Sturgeon's boys called him Teddy Caviar.
