Interesting Bay Area trivia: Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, the book Blade Runner was adapted from, takes place in San Francisco. The Mission police station being a central place.
The culture of the survivors is based on this worship of what remained of the animal kingdom, as seen in the test that they administer to check if you are a robot or not.
Especially amusing: the Robots in the book are hallucinating - (these hallucinations are called 'false memories'), just as these large language models of ours...
