In a world where reality blurs with artificiality, Philip K. Dick’s “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?” takes us on a journey through a post-apocalyptic Earth. Rick Deckard, a bounty hunter, is tasked with “retiring” rogue androids that are almost indistinguishable from humans. As he navigates this morally complex landscape, questions about empathy, identity, and what it truly means to be human arise. This novel is a thought-provoking exploration of the human condition, set against a backdrop of a decaying world.
Empathy, evidently, existed only within the human community, whereas intelligence to some degree could be found throughout every phylum and order including the arachnida.
