I just researched the word Kipple, 'cause when I read the book long time ago, I skimmed over the word interpreting it to mean bits of building piled up. Now I know what it means, better. I know there are multiplicity of readings, but I prefer to get the interpretation as close to the intention of the author as possible. 🙂
Amazing video, thank you. It's such a shame both of the movies omitted this, which I think is the most central point of the book. Isodore should've been in the movie. I read the book after watching the first movie and was mind blown by how amazing the book was. Philosophical depth of this caliber is very hard to come by in fiction.
I would say the most central point of the book is the importance of empathy, but this one of kipple is also an important one. Most of the important themes of the book unfortunately got left out of the movie
@@GregoryBSadler I agree, I actually think the empathy part is interrelated with it. The barren planet where everything is dead or dying is juxtaposed with life/love. The silence is the lack of life/love and empathy is how we relate with life. 2049 portrayed this somewhat but not to the depth it was portrayed in the book.

It's a concrete manifestation of entropy in this novel. I do remember it also showing up in the exigesis
With every video on this book I feel less and less like a chicken head.
Stay away from the radioactive dust
I just wanted to say thank you for this set of videos.
You're very welcome!
Thank you! Going to dial in to more of your vids.
You're welcome
