Syd Mead did amazing work on Blade Runner but the crowded urban city-scapes, multicultural and filled with ads were inspired by Mobius' Long Tomorrow.

- charlesism 7y agoUnderrated comment. The Blade Runner esthetic started with Moebius. Hard to imagine what the movie would look like had he never existed.
- iuguy 7y agoI didn't have the space to talk about Mobius, but I'm working on a piece on Dune, of which I can't write about without mentioning Mobius, Dan O'Bannon and Jodorowsky's wild ride. Unfortunately substack has space limits per post. I had to cut a whole section on Gibson to make space too.
