He sure was a great writer, after all there are a lot of movies based on his work.

Funny thing is Ridley Scott said many years later during an interview that yes, Deckard was a replicant.

Not in the book he wasn't, and in the film Blade Runner 2049 it sure looks that that twist was not included.

If you ever get a chance read some sci-fi penned by Frederick ( Frederic ?)Brown, seems to be hard to find but I read a collection of his short story's a couple decades back that was amazing, a very under appreciated author these days.
