Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

A novel by [[Philip K. Dick]] about escaped androids trying to pass for humans in a dystopian future, and the people whose job it is to hunt them down. The book is notable for film fans as being the source material for ''[[Blade Runner]]''.

 

As in most [[Philip K. Dick]] novels, the characters are all extremely confused about their identity and their surroundings. Some plot twists are overly obvious from the start, and although the novel never explicitly states why the characters don't notice them easily, it can be assumed that every person in the novel suffers from some level of fallout-related brain damage and detachment from reality. The result is a very dreamy, expressionistic story that has become one of Dick's most popular works.
