Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?

TitleDo Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
AuthorPhilip K. Dick
Call NumberPS3554.I3 D6
Location2nd Floor Humanities
RatingSomewhat Recommended
Book ReviewI picked this up as a representation of a book published in the year I was born.  Having seen the movie Blade Runner many times, I expected something quite different from the book.  While they are very loosely tied, the book focused more on Deckard's longing to own a real animal and his detachment when it comes to killing androids.  Many allegories to explore and very much like other sci-fi books of the time.  Not my favorite.
