Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?

“It's the basic condition of life to be required to violate our own identity.”

This is a science fiction classic that all fans of the genre should read!

Firstly, i'm a massive Blade Runner fan so I always expected to enjoy this book, I've read a few books by Philip K. Dick in the past and I've loved some thinking others (Man in the High Castle) could have been epic but sadly failed.

I wont go into the story because if you dont at least know the story to Blade Runner... where have you been? but I will say this is a very atmospheric book like so many other true classics of the genre, your pulled into this futuristic noir world that questions what it is to be human, what separates us from truly advanced androids? Empathy.

We follow Deckard who is a bounty hunter, the bounty hunters hunt androids who have assumed human identities and this opens up so many worms, you grow attached and fall in love to find out your lover isnt human... how would you feel?

Over all, I loved this book and would highly recommend it!
