Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick
5.0
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
I think they do, especially of they are wired to it.
Loved, loved, loved this book.
It was a bit weird, as I'm so familiar with the Bladerunner movie.
It's funny to recognise the characters and find they are different than what you remember them to be.
Also the way religion and nature has changed in a very short (couple decades) timespan is weird, it feels more like it plays out far in the future, but in the authors view it was only a couple decades after a catastrophic (nuclear) event.
Anyways, DADoES has some great world building and some very interesting characters, and just like in the movie it asks the question: what does it mean to be human?

"Do androids dream? Rick asked himself. Evidently; that’s why they occasionally kill their employers and flee here. A better life, without servitude."
