What I've always wondered is:
How much did Bladerunner actually influence/inspire cyberpunk?

Since William Gibson's Neuromancer is considered (AFIAK) to be the first cyberpunk book (or at least Gibson as the "Godfather of cyberpunk"), and it came out in 1984, while Blade Runner came out in 1982, couldn't BR be considered the genesis of almost every cyberpunkish story or film made?
