This Future Looks Familiar: Watching Blade Runner in 2017:
There is a whole class of slaves. It is illegal for them to escape slavery. The
cops are supposed to murder the slaves if they escape, because there is a risk that they
will start to think they’re people. But the cops know that the slaves are not people, so
it’s okay to murder them. The greatest danger, the thing the cops are supposed to prevent,
is that the slaves will try to assimilate into the society that relies on their labor.
