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

A masterpiece ahead of its time  a prescient rendering of a dark future  and the inspiration
for the blockbuster film Blade Runner   By 2021  the World War has killed millions  driving
entire species into extinction and sending mankind off-planet. Those who remain covet any
living creature  and for people who can't afford one  companies built incredibly realistic
simulacra: horses  birds  cats  sheep. They've even built humans. Immigrants to Mars receive
androids so sophisticated they are indistinguishable from true men or women. Fearful of the
havoc these artificial humans can wreak  the government bans them from Earth. Driven into
hiding  unauthorized androids live among human beings  undetected. Rick Deckard  an officially
sanctioned bounty hunter  is commissioned to find rogue androids and "retire" them. But when
cornered  androids fight back-with lethal force.   Praise for Philip K. Dick   "The most
consistently brilliant science fiction writer in the world."-John Brunner   "A kind of
pulp-fiction Kafka  a prophet."-The New York Times  "[Philip K. Dick] sees all the
sparkling-and terrifying-possibilities . . . that other authors shy away from."-Rolling Stone
