After WWT (Terminus) Earth is pretty much destroyed. Everyone follows Mercerism, where you have to own an animal and have a mood box. There are hover cars and androids. Rick Deckard is a bounty hunter, 'retiring' illegal androids. But it's so much more complicated than it seems.
I was actually watching the television mini series Humans when I was reading this book, and they deal with a similar subject matter. One that I am quite interested in. If we can go so far as to create androids so like us, who's to say there can't be ones that will have genuine feeling? It's a tricky subject matter, and requires a lot of debate.
This is the kind of book that just keeps you wanting more, and for that reason I felt it was a bit short. It didn't take long to read, and by the end you just want more!
Definitely worth a read if you're into androids, or remotely interested in machines with feelings.
Overall rating
