Anyone who hasn't should stop whatever their doing and go find and play 1994 (5?)'s Blade Runner game. Forgive the graphics for being from the 90's and enjoy one of the best games of all time. Then we can all come back and talk.
The problem with his books is they never give you a broad picture of the universe they're written in. You always see close up images, tight-knit cooridors of action and you're more likely to see inside the mind of a psychopath than you are to see the outside city lights.
It's hard to attach that skyline view when even he leaves that up to the imagination. That's part of the reason I love his books, but it also makes me sad that his writings find themselves so difficultly attached to movies and games with any sort of success.
