Morphology. Longevity. Incept Dates.

I first read Paul M. Sammon's Future Noir in 1999. A friend of mine lent it to me. It was a fantastic read. Blade Runner  fans soon began referring to the book as The Blade Runner Bible, and the term future noir entered the lexicon to refer to SF movies with certain cyberpunk tropes. Now, twenty years later, I am reading the updated and greatly expanded 2017 edition, which includes additional interviews with Harrison Ford, Sean Young and Rutger Hauer, plus insight into the making of Blade Runner 2049, as well as a look at the history of Blade Runner: The Final Cut and its 2007 theatrical release.

Future Noir  has never been out of print, in its various formats, since it was first published in 1996.  Both the book and the film have morphology, longevity and an incept date, but I doubt either of them will have a termination date.

Definitely not Time To Die. 

Not.Yet. Not. Yet.
