] With Willie Brown finally leaving his gold (plated),
] diamond-encrusted throne, there has been no shortage of

] particular candidate human or an insidious replicant,
] possessed of physical strength and computational
] abilities far exceeding our own, but lacking empathy and
] possibly even bent on our destruction as a species?

] replicants is the Voight-Kampff Test, created by Phillip
