Popular culture of the period reflected American's growing distrust of Japan. Futuristic period pieces such as "Back to the Future Part II" and "RoboCop 3" frequently showed Americans as working precariously under Japanese superiors. The film "Blade Runner" showed a futuristic Los Angeles clearly under Japanese domination, with a Japanese majority population and culture, perhaps a reference to the alternate world presented in the novel "The Man in the High Castle" by Philip K. Dick, the same author on which the film was based in which Japan had won World War II. Criticism was also lobbied in many novels of the day. The author Michael Crichton wrote "Rising Sun", a murder mystery (later made into a feature film) involving Japanese businessmen in the US. Likewise, in Tom Clancy's book, "Debt of Honor", Clancy implies that Japan's prosperity was caused primarily to unequal trading terms and portrayed Japan's business leaders acting in a power-hungry cabal.
