Deal Details
Several Retailers have Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K Dick (eBook) on sale for $1.99.

Thanks to Deal Hunter phoinix for finding this deal.

Available:About this title:
  • 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 built 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 can 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 story upon which the finest sci fi film ever made imho is based on. Most accolades were fawned upon Dick after he was pushing daisies, like most great minds, blah.

My problem with science fiction is that I read this short work first. Most everything else in the category pales in comparison.

I am not huge into reading novels, but I read this book in 2 days, probably 20 years ago. (During a 2 day road trip where I didn't need to drive.). Philip K. Dick is one of the few writers I don't kind of zone out while reading and can pay attention to everything. He is in my top 3, and there is a big dropoff after that.

On vacation I brought two books--this one and the first Hyperion novel. I knocked this one out in two days and then spent the rest of the week reading Hyperion. I still think a lot about this book, not so much for Hyperion.

What didn't you like about Hyperion? That book and the 3 others in the series are my favorite SciFi outside of Isaac Asimov's Robot and Foundation novels. The series is really two pairs of books that go together pretty well. I remember liking the last two books most.
