Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep by Philip K. Dick Read by Steven Carpenter This book was first published in 1968 Audio originally issued by NLS on cassette in 2003 Today we have the book that Blade Runner is based off. This might not be the best PKD book but well worth reading. In the short story collection The Eye of the Sibyl be sure to listen to The Little Black which sort of ties into this story. It's about the religion Mercerism but told from a different angle than in here. In the year 2021 Rick Deckard is employed on a dying Earth as a bounty hunter. He seeks androids that look like humans and destroys them

I've always loved the movie and couldn't have imagined how much the book could improve the experience and appreciation of PKD's wonderful story. I don't find the differences between the two to be of any great significance but mostly to be explanatory and illuminating. I am in awe of PKD's genius and his inventive and insightful mind. What a loss at such a young age. What an insight into the human condition. imagine sci-fi with philosophy and insight and in such an entertaining package. While not as deep or nuanced as PKD's story , I see much similarity to the message of Ender's Game. i. e. the depth and beauty of the human condition, through conflict. If we are here to learn and grow. this story describers one possible example of the journey. I so appreciate the late PKD and his story. Thanks

Silvery feets of a new born afternoon slightly touching the being while sounds of drilling machines, hammers and angry traffic keeps echoing,
Sweat soaked sweepers,
Cool, air Condiotened shopkeepers, beggars, junkies, preiests selling God, a lonely traveller, a busy road, closed eyes, and they keep talking daamn why don't he talk anymore.

the language and narration really have a way of gripping your heart. this is my first audiobook and, wow, it's so powerful. what strange, alienating yet familiar emotions this novel presents. (highly recommend listening to Blade Runner Blues with this.

How do you know this story is science fiction It's not the talk of androids, space colonies, or artifical animals. No. It's the fact that Pris has a skirt with POCKETS!

This is SO different from the BladeRunner movie. I wonder now, if they had made another movie true to the book, how would the 2 compare side by side

P K Dick was such a creative powerhouse! It must have been exhausting in his head but at least we get a peek through his stories!

The narrator sounds a lot like Q (John de Lancie) from Star Trek. Fun imagining him telling the story

Wow, So PKD invented the English/Japanese language thing. Dude was some sort of samurai/shaman.
