Blade Runner (a movie) by William S. Burroughs (en.wikipedia.org)

For some reason I never knew that the title Blade Runner came from this (otherwise unrelated) book. The etymology actually makes sense, too:

> The term "blade runner" referred to a smuggler of medical supplies, e.g. scalpels.

...as in, gun runner.
