RE: The Future: The Possibility Of Capturing Memories And Reliving Them
And here we come to another great movie: Total Recall - of course 1990, not 2012 remake. Its source - short sci-fi story of Philipp K. Dick We Can Remember It for You Wholesale, 1966.
Actually, it was written by Piers Anthony. I know, I was dumbfounded when I found out but I actually read the book, it just so happened at the time I was devouring Piers' vast catalog intensively. He also wrote some other stuff that was outside his normal teenage boy scifi/fantasy hybrid but I forget what it was just now.
Ok, to be precise, Dick did invent the original concept, but Anthony wrote what was made into a movie. http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15512.Total_Recall
We Can Remember It for You Wholesale;
I am of the opinion that the Arnold character was just a lowly construction worker (with a bloody hot wife) and the whole movie was the 'action adventure trip' program he purchased.
