Blade Runner 2049 Article

Many thanks to Mere Orthodoxy for publishing "Cells Interlinked: The Quest for Humanity in Blade Runner 2049," an article I co-wrote with Zach Boyd. The film is not only a masterpiece of cinema, but a sustained meditation on such themes as human ontology, the soul, natural law, and sacrifice. You can read it here:
