>...recently launched Verifi TT technology - a micron-sized fibre that
is woven in fabrics to prove authenticity.
This reminded me of Blade Runner, when Deckard takes the scale he found
in Leon's bathtub to a section of the city called Animoid Row, a section
of stalls that specializes in manufacturing artificial, synthetic
animals [in the year 2019, most animals are extinct, so there is a
thriving business in synthetic creatures]. He visits a Cambodian woman
who makes fish replicas. She examines the scale under an electron
microscope, identifying it as "manufactured...finest quality, superior
workmanship" with the maker's serial number "9906947-XB71". The woman
exclaims: "Not fish. Snake scale." It is a scale from an artificial
snake.
