Title: one of all time favorites
Review: This has been one of my favorites for decades. The movie Blade Runner was shallow and disappointing after the book. I recently re-read it and "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" holds up just as well now as it did when I first read it in the early '70s. Like any good psychopath, the androids lack empathy. While more intelligent than humans, the androids are chilling and horrifying, even as both the main character and reader find themselves questioning their own sympathy for them. As the android Rachel says: she has "empathy" for herself. And yes that does make them fundamentally different from the rest of us humans and animals that do have empathy for each other. Is this about robotics?: no. It's about what makes us whole sane beings.
