"Total Recall" was a Pretty Good Effort at an Old, Very Good, Science Fiction Story by one of the Great "Science Fiction" Authors.
NO ONE has EVER "Pretended" that the "Story" was IN ANY WAY "Related to 'Reality.'"
The Author--Philip K. Dick--wrote the story to comment about "Human Nature;" NOT as a "Treatise on Human Technology!!"
Doc
Dick also wrote the story that became the movie "Minority Report", a good story of the human condition and governmental abuse. I believe he wrote some others that became movies but can't remember for sure. Good writer.
