DO ANDROIDS DREAM OF ELECTRIC SHEEP? - PHILIP K...

The most consistently brilliant science fiction writer in the world. --John Brunner THE
INSPIRATION FOR BLADERUNNER. . . Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? was published in 1968.
Grim and foreboding  even today it is a masterpiece ahead of its time. By 2021  the World War
had killed millions  driving entire species into extinction and sending mankind off-planet.
Those who remained coveted any living creature  and for people who couldn't afford one 
companies built incredibly realistic simulacrae: horses  birds  cats  sheep. . . They even
built humans. Emigrees to Mars received androids so sophisticated it was impossible to tell
them from true men or women. Fearful of the havoc these artificial humans could wreak  the
government banned them from Earth. But when androids didn't want to be identified  they just
blended in. Rick Deckard was an officially sanctioned bounty hunter whose job was to find rogue
androids  and to retire them. But cornered  androids tended to fight back  with deadly results.
[Dick] sees all the sparkling and terrifying possibilities. . . that other authors shy away
from. --Paul Williams Rolling Stone
