Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick

namrata_jain's review against another edition

4.0

Can't believe this is my first Philip k. dick novel!

The post-war world he created is quite incredible and it's fascinating to see human's strong survival instincts displayed in this book.
What set humans apart from androids is eventually survival instinct and empathy, I loved this theory.
Who knows what all of it will come true, if at all!

This book displays how the same species can believe in totally different moral values and I'd love to see this world evolve to an animal-loving, cruelty-free world (though cruelty to androids doesn't count in this book, apparently).
