Replicants of 60s years ago are the transhumanoids of tomorrow!

Deckard administers the The Voight-Kampff Test on Rachel to determine whether she is a Replicant.

Incredible to think that Philip K. Dick wrote the original story Blade Runner was based on - Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? - back in 1968, with the movie to follow in 1982.

Here we are almost 60 years later and I'm wondering how long will it be before we haven't a clue whether the entity we are engaging with is human or humanoid? Certainly that time has already come in the online sphere via social media bots, and we are only starting to conceive of the disaster this will confer upon society.
