what if a loose cannon cop that really doesn't like black peole had a heart transplant from a black guy and then to top it off he's gonna get fired but his sergant managed to get him ONE LAST CHANCE if he'll agree to work with a black partner and it turns out that hey maybe black guys aren't so bad after all so lets go bust some crack dealers and pimps

except instead of black people it's robots and instead of crack dealers it's hypersmack snorting pimps selling sexbots on the hypernet powered by microsoft surface 13

no it wasn't PKD - i believe that was the 'sewer gas and electric' public works trilogy by matt ruff. it also featured famed monster-shark meisterbrau and the head of ayn rand in a jar iirc.

well i've not yet read "flow my tears..." so i guess i popped off a bit. guess i never expected there to be more than one book with that kind of thing going on in the background. that said, i waded into the ruff stuff but my interest waned. it reminded me a bit of robert anton wilson and the whole illuminatus! thing - big loud characters and zany situations.

avp had cool implications but it was a lot of 'oh wow so predator war' but at no point did i think 'whoever wins, we lose' especially the part where she gives the predator a gun and he's like 'oh cool we're friends now lets go take on the great evil'

I wanted to watch those but they weren't on Netflix cause Netflix is loving worthless and apparently the AVP series is far to pricey to license.
