just did this recently as well. it is fantastic. i listened to this, then saw the original blade runner, then saw blade runner 2049. the audiobook might be my favorite of the 3, tho the visuals in br2049 are unlike anything i've ever seen.
in fact, it inspired me to listen to 'the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy' and on top of being ****ing HILARIOUS (the dry, slapstick british kind) it's narration is A++, easily one of the best.

i've been meaning to read AJ's short story book, because 'orphan master's son' was so good. maybe this is a sign to start today. I really enjoyed egan's 'a visit from the goon squad' and having just finished 'manhattan beach' i have to say it's pretty forgettable and not all that of a compelling read.
