Summary:
The classic sci-fi novel Do Androids Imagine Electric powered Sheep?, which inspired two major movies: Knife Runner and Knife Runner 2049
By 2021, the Globe War has killed millions, driving whole species into extinction and sending mankind off-planet. Those that stay covet any living creature, and for people who can’t afford one, companies build incredibly practical simulacra: horses, wild birds, cats, sheep. They’ve even built humans. Immigrants to Mars receive androids so sophisticated they are indistinguishable from true men or women. Fearful from the havoc these artificial humans can wreak, the government bans them from Earth. Driven into hiding, unauthorized androids live among humans, undetected. Rick Deckard, an officially sanctioned bounty hunter, is commissioned to discover rogue androids and “retire” them. But when cornered, androids fight back-with lethal push.
