Picked this up off of Rand’s shelf, because I wanted something (for once, haha) that wasn’t chicklit.

I liked it. I have never seen Blade Runner in its entirety, so I wasn’t really comparing it to anything. I’d been warned that Philip K. Dick’s prose style is a bit clunky, which it is…he was writing a lot and doing it very quickly, so it’s not so “polished”. However, the ideas he presents are fascinating…what is it that makes us human? How, in a world where artificial life is nearly indistinguishable from true life, do you tell the difference? (and more importantly, does it matter? if the androids had been allowed to live their lives without interference, without being hunted, would they have been a danger to anyone?)

One idea that I kept expecting to be explored more was the question of whether or not Rick Deckard was actually human or an android with artificial memories. (maybe this was something the movie dealt with?)

A good read. I’m looking forward to reading more.
