[TheForge] Harlan the Dwarf

[Rob Fertner]

Harlen didn't write "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep".
I believe it was Philip K. Dick wrote that one.

Boy and his dog is a great short story, but the movie sucked because
they diverged from the original story in typical Hollywood
bastardization style.

Roger Zelazny got screwed even worse when Hollywood made his book
"Damnation Alley" into a movie. The book done straight would have been a
good movie, but when they got through with it the only thing similar was
the title.

	The movie *Bladerunner* was a teleplay of his *Do Androids Dream
of Electric Sheep*.
