Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick
2.0
Meh. Not the most compelling post-apocalyptic/dystopian I've read, but I did pull a few things from it, including gratitude for animals and nature. A great go-along for Rachel Carson's Silent Spring.
I mostly read this because I noticed it was set in 2021, and I was curious what it got right. Luckily we haven't destroyed the planet to the point illustrated in the book, but sadly, we don't have hovercars yet. Most of the other technology in the book is depressingly related to the ruin of society and the planet and I'm glad we don't have the need for it.
Definitely not for kids: there's a lot of violence and a bit of sex, although there are no graphic or gory descriptions. I'm on the fence about whether I would recommend it to my older teen, but probably not—not because of the content, just because I think there are better books out there.
