In a world where barely anything lives Rick Deckard is a bounty hunter who ‘retires’ androids to make money to buy a real life animal. It’s another Dick novel that addresses question of what is real and what is fake. It’s full of ideas, amusing and thought provoking. Such as a machine that can set your mood.

I didn’t care for the last part of the book. The climax of the android story seemed rushed and the whole Mercer thing wasn’t my favourite aspect to the novel.
