About Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? is set in an imagined version of San Francisco that has been devastated by a global nuclear war. In this radiation-ravaged city, bounty hunter Rick Deckard is tasked with tracking down and “retiring” six advanced Nexus-6 androids. As he progresses in his task, the lines between humans and androids become increasingly blurred, and in this way the novel raises questions about humanity, empathy and technology that remain pertinent today.
