1 June 2024Tail Lights: New Perspective on Tucker
November 21, 2019 and June 19, 1947 are now intertwined in my mind. The more recent date was the unveiling of the Tesla Cybertruck in Los Angeles, in the same city and month and year the movie Blade Runner was set. I've never seen it, but Wikipedia calls it “a foundational work of the cyberpunk genre.”
