# ridley forget blade runner 2 make off world online aka a digital service dear sir ridley scott hello i'm a huge admirer of blade runner and am writing to suggest that instead of making blade runner 2 one big film consider valve's notion of "entertainment as a service" and allow blade runner's open universe to grow as a fully interactive experience both funded and constructed by internet crowds - with your help and vision this project "off world online" would radically expand already fluid notions of artistic creation in a digital age while blade runner 2 seems an ok idea encouraging the rapid evolution of blade runner into and as new forms of collective play runs closer to the (now very modern) ideas expressed in your original ground breaking film blade runner is as much a dynamic process and free expression of artistic human consciousness as it is a defining cultural object; with this in mind consider "blade runner 2.0" an exciting opportunity for the unique realities offered by a blade running universe to define themselves in exciting and unexpected ways why the future of blade runner is online the future of blade runner deserves to be a multifaceted polymorphous online experience because it always was - a complex contested digital space of and for the imagination where multiple intellectual and emotional layers and interpretations compete for attention in an every changing environment populated by all manner of bizarre creatures - each clamouring for love life and meaning in a dark new world where technology and humanity have grown blurred and strange sincerely robert what > all these moments can now exist as nodes in a living network > ~ the ghost of roy // republic of bob
