By 2021, the World War has killed millions, driving entire species into extinction and sending mankind off-planet. Those who remain covet any living creature, and for people who can't afford one, companies build incredibly realistic simulacra: horses, birds, cats, sheep. They've even built humans. Immigrants to Mars receive androids so sophisticated they are indistinguishable from true men or women. Fearful of the havoc these artificial humans could wreak, the government bans them from Earth. Driven into hiding, unauthorized androids live among human beings, undetected. Rick Deckard, an officially sanctioned bounty hunter, is commissioned to find rogue androids and "retire" them. But when cornered, androids fight back - with lethal force. The Inspiration for the Film BLADE RUNNER. Originally published in 1968, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? remains a masterpiece ahead of its time, a prescient rendering of a dark future.

Rezension von Kristin Knillmannfreakishly suspenseful.
Rezension von LauraZum Ende hin ist es ein bisschen diffus und spirituell geworden, aber ansonsten ein absoluter Banger! Durch die Neuverfilmung von Blade Runner habe ich den Roman total unterschätzt, aber er hat so viel philosophische Tiefe und liest sich heute wahrscheinlich noch viel aktueller als in den 70ern.
