The Basics Rick Deckard is a bounty hunter, specifically in regards to androids. 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. Why?). In my opinion though, there are quite some differences between the boo...
