ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

In Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick, the bounty hunter Rick Deckard is tasked with retiring a group of escaped androids. In a future world ravaged by war and radioactive fallout, where most humans have emigrated to off-world colonies, the lines between humans and androids become blurred. As Deckard hunts the androids, he questions what it truly means to be human. The story explores themes of empathy, identity, and the search for meaning in a world where technology and artificiality challenge the very essence of life. The novel grapples with ethical questions about the treatment of androids and the value of both artificial and authentic life.
