Well Sheeeyit. Thanks for that info–didn’t know he was gone.
The savvier SF writers no longer date their work, so it doesn’t get dated. It’s easy to understand why the midcentury authors thought the future would be radical, the rate of change someone 60 in the 60’s had experienced was phenomenal. There had been no mass electronic communications, automobiles or aircraft at all when they were born. Why wouldn’t they expect flying cars and offworld colonies in another 60 years?

At one point Deckard looks behind a foreground object so I assume the photo has some depth.
Eww. Just eww. A robot butler/gofer, on the other hand, would be damn useful. Either that, or dishes that wash themselves (a thousand times more useful than dishes that go on the internet. Silicon valley has far too much of an obsession with the bloody internet).

I figured the computer calculates indirectly-seen areas by assembling fragmentary reflections that are directly visible in the photo.
