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 irreparably damaged by a nuclear global war, resulting in most species of animals being endangered and those that have survived becoming a luxury species. 

Many people resort to buying electric animals for companionship. The protagonist of the book, Rick Deckard, a bounty hunter of rogue androids, takes on the mission to kill six advanced humanoid models, Nexus-6, in exchange for a huge reward. However, things are not so simple and Rick's life turns into a nightmare, where questions of identity are raised and existential questions seem relentless.

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

    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.
