It is one of my favorite genres, one that sci-fi explores particularly well. However, rarely do any of these stories get under my skin. Even the deeply poignant ones with no redemptive qualities, like <em>Blade Runner</em>, never perturbed me. I was moved by it emotionally and might have shed a tear at the final scene, but I was feeling things from a distance.</p>
