Phillip K Dick Android

This is a video of me talking to a real ANDROID at Nextfest in Chicago IL! He was really cool, but a little spooky. He did not want to stop talking to me!

That's funny, because my first thought was that he would probably love it.

his head got stolen

[hoffmannolsen]

Its kind of sick, i dont believe that Phil would ever approve such a "copy" of himself - kind of like what he wrote in "Radio Free Albemuth" - Where the state puts him in prison and starts writing novels in his name full of moral - like space operas an the like.

Only the head is lost....

[eraserhead321]

@TheTrickery... it is indeed real and @wOrldpeace... I know, the robot was lost wasn't it? Don't you get the feeling that it might have been stolen by a fan in the same way some prized art is stolen? Possibly...

That IS creepy! I wish that I had the chance to talk to an android one day...By the way, what other funtions does he perform, or is he just designed for conversation? Great video!!

Oh! How fitting a choice to have the creator of the replicant be chosen as the appearanceof an actual android. But the cpu is an insult to the man's vast intellect. Come to think of it, if Phillip K. Dick knew how stupid this likeness of him was, he'd be rolling in his grave! Great idea though.

This might be the ONLY surviving footage of the droid in action.

I actually thought that was really phil pretending to be a robot. that's so cool.
