Review: Philip K. Dick's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? (1968) is one of the defining works of twentieth century science fiction. Set in a post-apocalyptic San Francisco, it follows bounty hunter Rick Deckard as he tracks down rogue androids indistinguishable from humans, raising profound questions about empathy, identity, and what it means to be alive. The novel became the basis for Ridley Scott's Blade Runner (1982) and its sequel, cementing Dick's status as one of the most visionary writers in the genre.
