Blade Runner: Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep - Phillip K.Dick

The novel was first published in 1968. It is the basis for the iconic science fiction film "Blade Runner," directed by Ridley Scott and released in 1982. The movie adaptation took certain liberties with the source material, but it is considered a classic in its own right.

The novel explores themes of empathy, artificial intelligence, and the nature of humanity in a dystopian future. It is set in a post-apocalyptic world where androids are indistinguishable from humans, and the protagonist, Rick Deckard, is a bounty hunter tasked with "retiring" (destroying) rogue androids. Philip K. Dick's work often delves into philosophical and existential questions, and "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" is no exception.
