Description

A masterpiece ahead of its time, a prescient rendering of a dark future, and the inspiration for the blockbuster film Blade Runner

By 2021, the World War has killed millions, driving entire species into extinction and sending mankind off-planet. People who remain covet any living creature, and for those that can’t have enough money one, companies built incredibly realistic simulacra: horses, birds, cats, sheep. They’ve even built humans. Immigrants to Mars receive androids so sophisticated they’re indistinguishable from true men or women. Fearful of the havoc these artificial humans can wreak, the government bans them from Earth. Driven into hiding, unauthorized androids live among human beings, undetected. Rick Deckard, an officially sanctioned bounty hunter, is commissioned to find rogue androids and “retire” them. But if cornered, androids fight back—with lethal force.

Praise for Philip K. Dick

“A type of pulp-fiction Kafka, a prophet.”The New York Times

“[Philip K. Dick] sees all of the sparkling—and terrifying—possibilities . . . that other authors shy away from.”Rolling Stone
