Do androids dream of electric sheep? is another way of asking the one question we cannot seem to answer: Do robots have souls?
There is this clear idea that us humans seem to have in our heads that androids cannot have emotions as they lack a soul. This is the main theme that Philip K Dick tries to present in his awesomely titled book. Robots lack empathy, an emotion which is described as being almost instinctual by humans and that the droids can only attempt to simulate. At the same time, as the story progresses and we spend more time with Dick's androids, we start questioning whether or not they truly lack emotions as the society they are hiding from thinks. What separates them from humans is not lack of empathy, but the acceptance of death. Unlike us, the android's analytical and simulated mind ca accept the fact that death is just another output of a series of inputs and that once the variables have been inserted, the result cannot be changed no matter how many times you try to stop the threads.
Deckard's sudden appearance of emotions towards androids is natural for a human being, especially since their appearance in the book is not quite artificial. The androids in the story seem human, their minds work as close to a human mind as possible: they are curious, they use any means of survival, and they like to burn ants just for the fun of it.
Isidore is the representation of the naive, innocent side of humanity, that one side we all want to hide away and not show especially because we know we might end up hurt or maybe someone dear to us might have something bad coming their way. I pitied him and his desire to feel useful, his one desire to help three androids that were willing to use him as a human shield against the bounty hunter.

Overall, Do androids dream of electric sheep? is truly a classic in the SF world and a book that makes the reader reflect on the true nature of humanity and ask themselves: what makes us human?

Do Android's dream? Evidently, that's why - they flee. A better life, without servitude.

Totally different from the movie. The writing was a bit stilted and dated, but I'm glad I read it. Don't necessarily plan to read any more of his books though.

Way better and more happens here than the movie, but it's not the same as liking it. I do think all the characters have a lot more dimension to them here and there were lots of interesting points brought up regarding class, empathy, and religion, and it evokes in readers very interesting philosophical questions. But the book also sort of glosses over these completely and so it makes the satisfaction of the story feel lacking. I do think it's kind of crazy to read this in 2025 knowing that the setting of the book is in this century a few years before the present, and this is what they hypothesized the future to be like.

It's alright
