No no, Prophets of Science Fiction. Different show. Here's the IMDB. It looks at an author's work and life, the concepts they brought in, and where we stand now in modern science relative to it. The episode on P.K. Dick dealt in part with fabricated memories, like in "Total Recall." It's a fascinating show.

Never actually heard of Masters of Science Fiction. Looked it up just now.


Bladerunner is also one of my favourite films. I consider the film and book essentially two different entities. I think Scott chose to focus on different aspects of the world than show in the novel. Personally, I like book Deckard more than movie Deckard, and movie Roy better than book Roy.
