"In this trenchant science-fiction screen treatment, William S.Burroughs outlines the coming apocalypse in medical care, a Dante-esque horror show, brought to a boil by a mutated virus and right-wing politics, set in a future not nearly far enough away". [jacket blurb, US pbk, 1990]

"Not to be confused with Ridley Scott's movie of the same name. In fact, Scott's film -- a screen adaptation of Philip K.Dick's 1968 science fiction novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? -- was retitled Blade Runner with a tip of the hat to William Burroughs (who, in turn, acknowledges Alan E.Nourse, "upon whose book The Blade Runner , characters and situations in this book [Burroughs'] are based"). To make things even more convoluted, subsequent editions of Dick's book have been reprinted under the name Blade Runner in order to tie-in with the motion picture (which is a pity since the original title was so great)". --Henry W.Targowski (in Mark/Space , 1995).
