This book poses some very interesting questions on what it means to be alive and a human. I did feel like I was working harder than I should be to focus on the plot. 

The original movie is wack and totally hard to follow. I got a lot more from reading the book.

"friendlily"

"disemelevatored"

“My schedule for today lists a six-hour self-accusatory depression"

“So I put it on my schedule for twice a month; I think that’s a reasonable amount of time to feel hopeless about everything"

“Dial 888,” Rick said as the set warmed. “The desire to watch TV, no matter what’s on it.”

------

Enjoyed the first half quite a bit more than the second, but still a good read, and glad to now know where Blade Runner (loosely) came from

3.5/5
