Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
by Philip K. Dick
3.5 - 4 Stars
The difference between humans and androids is a fine line called empathy.
This short novel is confusing, weird, and downright intriguing. I wanted to know, just like Rick Deckard; I just wanted to understand what was happening to me. Or maybe, just maybe, I am a "special" and am clueless and confused.
You have a host of 2-dimensional characters, at best; but they do remain interesting in how they navigate through this dirty, dystopian, kipple-ridden earth. The androids definitely have singular personalities; along with the humans, who seem to be mechanical and hollow themselves. The humans that you meet seem devoid of character. Of insight. Of love. Of kindness. Of respect. Of Honesty. Of sincerity. Yes, even empathy.
There is a lesson to be learned here, but I am not sure that Deckard learned it.
Even though this is not a 5 star read (to me); I highly recommend it, if only to hear your thoughts.
