I didn't find this book easy to follow. A lot of key context was missing. The future imagination was strange in that some things were very advanced like flying cars and others were not changed much at all. Electric animals were an interesting concept.
I preferred the movie to the book which I hardly ever do. I read this for the HRCYED 2.0 Challenge for the film based on a book (Blade Runner) and also animal (Sheep)

Very intriguing premise and sci-fi concepts, the plot started feeling juvenile and all over the place to me after a while.

After I've sat with this book for a day, I love it! It's so original and harrowing. It has a lot to say about the human condition, technology, and hegemony. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because it's mildly sexist and deeply racist. I definitely want to read again soon.
Excelente obra. Me gusta mucho cuando una obra sci-fi tiene una historia lo suficientemente interesante para tenerte enganchado y a la vez va salpicando cuestiones morales o filosóficas sobre los humanos.
El ritmo está raro, se estanca con cierto personaje (que ni siquiera es el protagonista), y luego retoma su ritmo una vez que se entiende el porqué de ese personaje.
Otro punto a favor es la construcción de este mundo. Qué maravilla (a nivel de world building, claro, porque este mundo cyberpunk suena culero lol).

Legitimate Lobotomy. Convinced old authors are only called greats and classics because no one before had the ability to read.

Hm. This one didn't really hit for me. Part of the reason I love stories about sapient robots is because of the inherent challenge to the theory of human superiority, where this book sort of opens that door but just reinforces that humans are The Best. I felt like I was in an uphill battle (haha) to see the androids as the secret protagonists the whole time, and then by the end I had to admit that the author was not going to allow that.
