It was January 2021, and Rick Deckard had a license to kill. Somewhere among the hordes of humans out there, lurked several rogue androids. Deckard's assignment--find them and then..."retire" them. Trouble was, the androids all looked exactly like humans, and they didn't want to be found!

A little mixed on this one.

First off, I have never seen Blade Runner, so that movie had no impact on my feelings for this book.

I was sucked into this book from the very start. Animals are basically extinct and farmers are usually having to resort to buying robotic versions of the animals to be able to still produce goods. People are using computers to program them to feel specific ways (you can even make yourself feel depressed for whatever reason). The world building was really well done and for the first half of the book I was very into it all.

Then it just kind of lost me. It starts to show its age when it comes to discussing or referencing any of the female characters. We are told all about their breasts and there's even the old school jolly of having sex with a robot.

I know that issues like …

Une bonne réflexion sur la nature humaine ^^

Critique après avoir lu cet ouvrage je peux le dire avec simplicité j’ai été surpris et prie dans une boucle qui me poussait à m’interroger sur la vérité sur le bien et le mal.

Review of 'Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?' on 'Storygraph'

Pulled from my Letterboxd review of Blade Runner: The Final Cut—

I just finished reading Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep and had to revisit the movie adaptation. They are nothing alike. I do not say this to diminish Blade Runner. It is a cyberpunk masterpiece regardless. 

My first experience was the Director’s Cut; tonight’s the Final Cut. The visuals are breathtaking. It’s even more apparent how 2049 deftly expanded on the aesthetics and themes established here. But Blade Runner took the barest whiff of inspiration from the novel and ran in a completely different direction. 

Do Androids Dream has none of the rain, or neon, or crime ridden streets. Instead it is set on a depopulated, irradiated, dying earth. A lonely earth. Murder is unheard of because, legally and religiously, all life is considered sacred. Down to the smallest ant. A strange spiritual movement called Mercerism even networks human …

Review of 'Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?' on 'Goodreads'

El worldbuilding, los temas que se tratan, los personajes... Todos los elementos por sí mismos son una pasada, pero lo que es el desarrollo de las escenas... No entiendo porqué los personajes hacen muchas cosas o porqué cambian de opinión constantemente, y lo del mercerismo tampoco lo acabo de pillar. Los personajes femeninos y todo el rollo el sexo, corramos un tupido velo y aceptemos pulpo por la época en la que se escribió. El final me ha dejado así :|
