I like it a lot. I liked it more than I thought I would. I kept thinking I knew what would happen but I like that I didn’t. It’s way better and more different than the movie. It’s pretty cool.

The book initially takes some time to set up the context and world-build, but once all that has been introduced, the plot begins to take off and a somewhat intense chase between the bounty hunter and the androids begin, which sucked me in and kept me enraptured. Set in a post-apocalyptic world where animals are far and few between and technology has advanced to incredible lengths (2021!), empathy is the main difference one can find between humans and androids: this book reflects on whether that statement is true; whether androids are nought but robots designed for tasks, to be obliterated at our will, and asks us what humans should be striving towards in their lives if not for the status quo dream.
