I've never seen a photo that shows the way that building works:

The page also has links to photos of more architecture. Interesting.

Dick's favorite movie; more interested in what he thought about things. I read some of his work, in collections of short stories. The work is different than the movies - I think there's a certain approach to his work that's become standardized since Blade Runner: they've thrown out the anachronisms and the casual sexism.

His stories struck me as good old fashioned science fiction (from the '50s-'60s).

Robots that think for themselves – of course! Women who think for themselves – oh, come now, don’t be silly.
Somthing from before your time
