Connections between Klara and The Sun and Blade Runner 2049?

 They both have a way of showing discrimination against a certain group. In Klara and The Sun; those who are "lifted" has a better advantage than those who aren't lifted, thus non-lifted people are discriminated against. In blade runner; those who are replicants are more discriminated against as they are genetically edited to be 'better' than humans, which is why humans have a lot of hatred for replicants. 

Another connection between the texts is love. Klara has a lot of love for Josie despite the fact that she is a robot. The same goes for Officer K in blade runner. K loves his Artificial intelligent girlfriend, yet she is also a robot. 

Most important connection is personhood.
