Summary: no need to set emotions to read this book
Review: As most people, I read this book after seeing the movie bladerunner. I guess I expected more out of it. It was an emjoyable read but i have to admitt I think Ridley Scoots adaptation was more artististic. For anyone who enjoyed the movie, this is a good book, but for the first time even, i liked the movie more. Do read it if you liked the story line to bladerunner, but be prepared for a difference if it was the wit and language you enjoyed in the movie.

Summary: Philosophy clothed in futuristic wordplay
Review: Philip K Dick has woven more than an interesting story. "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" was a study in humanism more than it was a science fiction classic. Readers who often ponder over what it really means to be human will be well rewarded for the hour they spend reading it and again, the hours they spend musing over the mentally deficient character in the book and the mutilations that a spider suffers at the hands of the near-human androids. The science fiction part of the story is interesting, but what really makes the book a must-read is the way it has dealt with human comnpassion and empathy.

Summary: One of Dick's best and most important works.
Review: Blade Runner (Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?) is one of Dick's best and most important books. Not only is it fast-paced and full of mystery and intrique, but it explores deeper themes, such as what separates man from machine and, ironically, how thin that division can be. For those of you who have only seen the Humphrey Bogart-like movie Blade Runner, the original novel is at least twice as good and twice as deep. A must read for those interested in the classics of sci-fi and one of its grand masters.

Summary: One of Dick's best
Review: If you've seen Bladerunner you probably think it's a pretty cool sci-fi movie.. but the book is much more. From the duality of the android-human relationship to the surprisingly familiar Mercer religion, Do Androids Dream? is a book you must buy and share with friends

Summary: excellent feat of paranoid imagination
Review: With this book Dick did it again. Another dark and paranoid vision of future Earth. This time Earth is contaminated and people want to get off to the offworld colonies. Only life in those colonies is pretty tough and not everybody is allowed to go. That's why humans first send androids who are forbidden to come back to Earth. If they do, special police officers are licenced to kill them on the spot. That about covers it. Lost my train of thought. Read it anyway

Summary: Quite a surprise for fans of the film. A great time.
Review: This, Dick's most famous book, is definitely NOT what you think it is going to be if you are picking it up after seeing the movie. In fact, even if you have never heard of the movie, it is probably not what you are thinking it is going to be. The book is a maze of questions and theories; especially exploring the familiar Dickian theme of identity. (am I real, or manufactured? Are my memories real, or programmed? Are YOU real?) The story of the replicant (androids who mirror humans and often exceed them, but have a very short lifespan) hunter Deckard is fast, often funny (see the mood machine in the first chapter) and always intriguing. He seems to have rushed his writing in a few places. And at times I could tell he was keeping his concept down for the enjoyment of sci-fi readers. Still, a good place to start with Dick, and one of the fastest reads you'll encounter

Summary: Enjoyable read all round...
Review: "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" is a brilliant sci-fi adventure through the streets and skies of futuristic society. Set in 2021, this is a story of Richard Deckard; "Blade Runner", husband and just another person with the usual social ails.A number of highly advanced androids have made a daring escape "off-Earth" and have come back to Earth to try and survive. Deackards job is to hunt these androids, who appear as much like humans as everyone else and neutralise them before they harm anyone. Dicks ability and endless imagination drive you through the book, depicting the state that the world has become (the rare existance of live animals) and the demise of the rogue androids. This was my first exposure to Dicks brilliance and I have since read "The Man in the High Castle" and "Planets of the Alphane Moon", which have both been excellent. If you enjoyed the movie adaptation, you will be thrilled with this books added detail and depth. Enjoy!
