When an android goes rouge, it usually means they had to kill someone to do it, and it’s Rick’s job to determine if the person he’s investigating is definitely an android and then dispatch them. But what happens when ...

Do Androids dream of electric sheep is a Scifi classic, it's also made into a movie called Blade Runner (You have a name like Do Androids dream of electric sheep? and then you choose as a title for you movie: Blade Runner.

I sort of became obsessed with this book as I read it. I don't think that I can put my finger on exactly why I liked this story, somehow I just found it to be compelling and oddly emotional. The characters' quests to understand themselves and their places in this dystopian world, were interesting,...
