Prime Video’s biggest sci-fi show of the year redefines a cyberpunk icon

“We already fought a war, we lost.” The first official trailer for Blade Runner 2099 starts with a bang, revealing how much has changed in the world first brought to life by director Ridley Scott since his trailblazing 1982 movieBlade Runner. That film, itself an adaptation of Philip K. Dick’s seminal novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, imagined a neon-soaked noir dystopia of 2019 — and popularized the cyberpunk genre in cinema along the way.
