Do Androids Dream Of Electric Fruit?

What if Philip K Dick bad been born later, and wrote "Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?" last year? Harrison Ford, Sean Young & Rutger Hauer in "Pad Runner"?


"They were afraid they'd develop features by themselves. So they built in a fail-safe."
"What's that?"
"Two year contract."

"You're walking in the hot sun and you see a Nokia."
"What's a Nokia?"
"You know what a brick is?"
"Sure."
"Same thing."

"Do you like our interface?"
"It's artificial?"
"Of course."
"Must be expensive."
"Very."

"Is this to be a transmission test? Measuring the so-called signal strength? Dial-failure of the keypad? Involuntary draining of the battery."
"We call it iOS for short."

"Have you ever retired an iPad by mistake?"

"I only do i's!"

"What model are you?"
"iPhone 6."
"I knew it."

"The pad that runs twice as fast lasts half as long. And you have run so very very quickly, Roy. Look at you! You're quite a prize."
"I want more range, fucker."

"I've seen things you fanbois wouldn't believe. Angry Birds on fire off the Ice Cream Sandwich. I've seen coin dozer glitter in the darkness near the Torvalds gate. All these upgrades are lost, in time ... like Flash ... in iOS. Time ... to buy."

"Too bad it won't run for ever! But then again, what does!"
