Week Five Moves Along



As the Week Five Assignments indicate, you will all watch the excellent Ridley Scott film Blade Runner. And you can enjoy two other classic fixtures of SF Cinema, Stanley Kubrick's 2001 A Space Odyssey and Andrey Tarkovsky's Solaris, often called the Russian 2001.

Netflix has all the films, and I linked a place where you can watch a free version of Blade Runner.

You will also take a midterm examination discussed in both the assignment folder and on the Video Welcome to Week Five.

As usual, you will have two videos this week; the quiz will be available between this Wednesday morning and midnight Tuesday.

This reading also takes you into the Computers and Virtual Reality worlds of Phillip K. Dick, William Gibson, and Eileen Gunn. The section in the anthology also offers an excellent story by Pat Cadigan, "Pretty Boy Crossover."
