p.12, header.

NEW MILLENNIA AND MUTINIES

Another stylistic suggestion rather than actual error.

This feels slightly ... inelegant. I would suggest something like "NEW MILLENNIA, NEW MUTINIES" instead.

Page 16 final paragraph, 'Not to be outshined, Wallace has also staked his dominion over the city by centralizing'

Should be 'Not to be outshone'

p.23, under "Rolling Dice" > "Success"
"Any roll of 6 or higher on a Base Dice is called a success"
should be corrected to "Base Die"

p22 - "You can find a Time Tracker at the back of this book". Couldn't find it.

p.10, last paragraph:

A potential movie continuity issue (related to one I highlighted for a later chapter):

Due to limited space and harsh conditions, off- world visas were granted only to those who paid a hefty fee and passed rigorous mental and physical tests. Or to the megarich who could buy special treatment or private transports. And so the great divide began. The smartest, healthiest, and wealthiest abandoned Earth in a mass exodus, while the unfortunate who failed the tests or lacked the funds – known as Specials – were left behind.

This seems to be the situation in the 90's/early 2000's. Later in the book (p.103), the present-day situation seems to be similar.

But we know that in the original movie, blimps blast out the "A NEW LIFE AWAITS YOU...!" ads just a few dozen meters above the seedy streets where Deckard is so rudely interrupted while enjoying his sushi and noodles.

So, it is plain that in 2019, the Off-World Colonies were open to others than the very top of the cream of society — unlike the situations 20 years earlier and 20 years later.

Hence the question I'd like to see the book answer: what changes between 2000 and 2019, and again between 2019 and 2037?
Or is this just a continuity error? In that case ... a bit of a re-think might be in order.

Not sure if that's too late.

On page 19 there are two paragraphs for Humans and Replicants.

Both end with "They will learn" phrase, but they have different forms: "They'll learn" for Humans and "They will learn" for Replicants.

Should they be completely equal for stylistic purpose?
