Philip K. Dick's Scramble Suit

Introduced early in the second chapter of his 1977 novel, "A Scanner Darkly," as follows:

"Basically, his design consisted of a multifaced quartz lens hooked to a miniaturized computer whose memory banks held up to a million and a half physiognomic fraction-representations of various people: men and women, children, with every variant encoded and then projected outward in all directions equally onto a superthin shroud-like membrane large enough to fit around an average human."

I wonder how it's coming along....

You had to remind me of that awful, awful movie, didn't you?

But Rocketboy, why is it awful? Did you even see it?

No, but it's still awful. Why? I hate that animation style, but even worse, how Keanu Reves has an acting career beyond Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, I have no idea.
