Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?: The inspiration behind Blade Runner and Blade Runner 2049
Paperback | English
By (author): Philip K Dick
World War Terminus devastated the Earth. Through its ruins, bounty hunter Rick Deckard searches for the renegade replicants he is sent to ''retire'', while he dreams of owning a live animal - the ultimate status symbol in a world all but bereft of natural life.
The opportunity of a lifetime: kill six Nexus-6 targets, for a huge reward. But in Deckard''s world things aren''t that simple, and his assignment turns into a nightmare kaleidoscope of subterfuge and deceit - and the hunter becomes the hunted . . .
Voted in a Locus poll as one of the 100 pre-1990 SF Novels, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep spawned two blockbuster movies. Philip K. Dick won multiple awards for his works, examining human identity, psychology, conspiracy and paranoia, challenging the idea of objective truth in a manner that remains relevant today.
