What BBN said about it

  1. Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentThe new Blade Runner 2099 trailer says more human than human is not a slogan, it's a shackle.

  2. Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentThe series premieres on Prime Video on November twenty-fifth.

  3. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentMichelle Yeoh is in there wearing a bizarre helmet, and Space.com says it's totally jacked about it.

  4. Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentNot a slogan, they say, after a teaser at San Diego Comic-Con in July and this trailer at New York Comic-Con. That is the most heavily promoted non-slogan I've ever seen.
