Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep PDF

• Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? (1968) by Philip K. Dick is the novel on which the Blade Runner film of 1982 is originally based. The novel takes place in a post-apocalyptic future (originally 1992, changed to 2021 in later editions) brought on by “World War Terminus.”
• Nuclear fallout has caused radioactive dust to descend over Earth’s atmosphere, and many humans have been relocated to colonies on other planets with the active encouragement of the government. The government compensates these colonists with free personal androids, which look identical to humans but are meant to behave as servants.
• Due to radioactivity, many species on earth have died out, and animal life in particular becomes an extremely valuable commodity and status symbol. Only the upper classes can afford real animals, but the cultural significance of “empathy” toward life means that even poorer people participate by keeping realistic-looking electronic animals.
• The novel’s protagonist is a bounty hunter by the name of Rick Deckard who takes a job working with the San Francisco police department in order to “retire” six rogue androids who escaped from Mars to Earth. His primary motivation in taking the job is to earn enough money in order to afford a real animal, instead of the electronic black sheep he and his wife currently have.
• Deckard suggests that by owning a real animal, humans are able to express empathy, which is the one emotion that cannot be replicated by androids. In order to learn about the type of androids he is seeking, he visits the facility where they are produced, the Rosen Association.
• There he meets Rachel Rosen and administers the Voigt-Kampff test which is designed to separate humans from androids with a series of questions designed to evoke empathetic responses. Rachel does not pass the test, but her “uncle” Eldon assures Rick that she is really human.
• Rick tests her again, and again she does not pass and it is clear that Rachel is indeed an android. Though Rachel and Eldon attempt to bride Rick with expensive animals he leaves the facility, knowing that the test will work to help him find the rogue androids and stop him from killing a human by mistake.
• Rick finds and retires the first android, but is arrested when he confronts the second android, posing as opera singer Luba Luft. He knows nothing of the police department that has taken him in but soon deduces the arresting officer to be an android. Deckard realizes that the whole organization in an android police department exists to track human activity.
• With the help of fellow bounty hunter Phil Resch, Rick kills the android officer and the two leave to track down Luft. However, when they find her Resch kills her in cold blood, leading Rick to doubt his humanity and administer the test. The result is that Resch is human, but that he has no empathy for androids which deeply disturbs Rick. (Note:- It is not the complete summary go through the PDF to learn more about this Novel)
