Description

The science fiction masterpiece behind the classic movies Bladerunner and Bladerunner 2049. The Terminus War had left Earth devastated. From its ruins, bounty hunter Rick Deckard seeks the renegade replicants who are his prey. When he's not 'retiring' them with his laser, he dreams of owning a living animal - the ultimate status symbol in a world almost empty of life. Then Rick gets his chance: the mission to kill six Nexus-6 targets, for a huge reward. But in Deckard's world, things were never that simple, and his mission quickly becomes a nightmare full of subterfuge and deceit - with the threat of death for the hunter instead of the prey...

Readers have been impressed by Philip K. Dick: 'Now I understand why there's so much talk. The guy is a visionary... Every paragraph propels us forward, demands our attention... a classic example of the best science fiction.' Reader on Goodreads, 'Probably my favorite Phillip K. Dick book... set on a dystopian Earth, much damaged after the 'Terminus War'... I can't praise this book enough, it is truly one of the best ever.' Reader on Goodreads, 'A science fiction masterpiece... about a post-apocalyptic world seeking resurrection through the discovery of empathy. But who is more empathetic - humans or androids? What is the dividing line? The book continually explores how far human ideas about life, death, religion, and love can survive in a dark, indifferent world.' Reader on Goodreads, 'I thought it was amazing and original... Earth has become almost uninhabitable due to nuclear winter, radiation, and despair... a very nice story and I believe only PKD could have written something like this. I would recommend it... if you liked the Blade Runner movies.' Reader on Goodreads.

Review this product
  • Paper quality
  • Was it interesting enough?
  • I liked the writing style
  • I would read a book by the same author
  • I would recommend it for reading
  • Was it easy to read?
  • While the word "Bladerunner" is never mentioned in this fantastic sci-fi, its influence on the films is more than obvious. Even though the premise will be familiar to those who saw the movie adaptations first, there's still plenty of novelty and surprise to keep you invested here. A true classic.
