"The most consistently brilliant science fiction writer in the world."
- John Brunner
THE INSPIRATION FOR BLADERUNNER...
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? was published in 1968. Grim and foreboding, even today it is a masterpiece ahead of its time.
By 2021, the World War had killed millions, driving entire species into extinction and sending mankind off-planet. Those who remained coveted any living creature, and for people who couldn't afford one, companies built incredibly realistic simulacrae: horses, birds, cats, sheep...
They even built humans.
Emigrees to Mars received androids so sophisticated it was impossible to tell them from true men or women. Fearful of the havoc these artificial humans could wreak, the government banned them from Earth. But when androids didn't want to be identified, they just blended in.

Philip K Dicks roman ställer många intressanta frågor, som vi människor kommer att tvingas ta ställning till inom en snar framtid. När är man människa? Vad är liv? Vad är verklighet? Med dystra färger målar Dick upp en öde framtidsvärld där människorna börjat tappa greppet om allt som gör livet meningsfullt. Det är en mycket läsvärd bok som ger oss många intressanta tankeställare.
