But a lot of the side characters, a lot of the conception of the future, of us being constantly surveilled, of us all being hooked up on our devices and all being mildly addicted to drugs is all out of Philip K. Dick. And he obviously wrote this.

The things from that book are, he has a precrime police department that apprehends criminals. He has the precogs and it's in D.C. in 2054, which by the way, Van is now less than 30 years away.

I thought that was gonna be an AVN award for a second... Minority Report... Total Recall... Blade Runner... The Adjustment Bureau...
