AAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!! RUNAWAY! (I remember the TV show...hmmm...that would
work with the UB, wouldn't it?) Also, what would you do if you had a
person from the UB come to your door (ala Jehovah's Witnesses) and offer

Who has seen the British version, not the American TV show pilot? I have
heard that the British version is truer to the genre than the TV show.

Let me know... I'm interested.

I love the book as well. When it (the movie)
first came out I heard rumors about
that it was actually a Cyberpunk 2020 type movie, that it was a TRUE
cyberpunk movie. Oh well, maybe next time. :(
