This anthology discusses both Ridley Scotts Blade Runner and Philip K. Dicks Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? In the former, the main female replicant is named Rachel, and in the latter Rachael. For convenience, the spelling Rachel is used throughout this book even when referring to the character in Dicks novel or in K. W. Jeters Blade Runner sequels. Other spellings, such as Voigt-Kampff, are taken from Paul M. Sammons Future Noir: The Making of Blade Runner (1996).

My thanks as editor go to Yoram Allon at Wallflower Press for his support and guidance; to Mark Kermode and Andrew Abbot for the interviews; to Ben Mund and Don Solosan for their email testimonies, ideas and feedback; and to all the contributors, who gave so much and so selflessly.
