  • More Than Human: Bladerunners Human/Replicant Debate: PopSubCulture.coms The Biography Project

The unicorn, Deckard's apparently super-human abilities (hanging onto the roof by three fingers, for example), and the glow of his eyes in a particular scene were clues Scott left (by his own admission).

    I think that it's pretty simplistic to say that Replicants represent Jews and the police represent Nazis within this story. There are some correlations, sure, but I think that a lot of the Nazi themes people get stuck on come from later books that Dick didn't even write.
