Description

The book "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" is a dystopian science fiction novel first published in 1968. The novel is set in a post-apocalyptic San Francisco, where life has been irrevocably damaged by a nuclear global war, resulting in most animal species being on the brink of extinction, and those that have survived being a luxury.

Many people turn to purchasing electric animals for companionship. The book's protagonist, Rick Deckard, a bounty hunter of rogue androids, is tasked with killing six advanced humanoid Nexus-6 models for a huge reward. However, things are not so simple, and Rick's life turns into a nightmare, raising issues of identity and existential questions that seem relentless.

The book served as the primary basis for the 1982 film "Blade Runner," and many elements and themes from it were used in the film's sequel, Blade Runner 2049, released in 2017.

    Having seen both Blade Runner movies multiple times, I was very curious to read the material they were based on and had high expectations for this book.

    Unfortunately, I can't say that I was truly impressed and I consider the changes made for the first movie to be better than many of the choices made in the book. The book was too short to adequately develop its themes and events, the overall theological theme was a bit confusing, the characters were not very likable, and the ending felt pedestrian and unsatisfying.

    However, the world-building and technology were undeniably interesting, and it is because of the book that the movies were made, so I suppose it's good that it was written in the end. But I can't genuinely recommend it.
