Published: Dec. 12, 2017, 6:35 a.m.

Replicant discrimination \n\n

Is racism the right word? Hate and discrimination against replicants. Replicant slavery.

\n\n Synthetic farming \n\n

Whatever that means. But in the meantime, let\u2019s eat some grubs okay? The benefits of cricket and grub farming. Necessity breeds insects.

\n\n Solar concentrators \n\n

Hey these are neat

\n\n Replicant birth \n\n

Pooped out of the goo shoot. Like real life. And then replicants replicating themselves.

\n\n Space settlement \n\n

Thank you creepy Jared Leto. Tyrell\u2019s original mission versus the cohesive effort lead by creepy Leto.

\n\n Digital Girlfriend \n\n

Narrow v general artificial intelligence. Awesome magic projector technology.

\n\n Data storage \n\n

DNA or other biological data storage. Holographic storage.
