Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep? by Philip K Dick

World War Terminus has left the earth devastated. Through its ruins, bounty hunter Rick Deckard stalks, in search of the renegade replicants who are his prey. When he isn’t ‘retiring’ them with his laser weapon, he dreams of owning a live animal – the ultimate status symbol in a world all but bereft of animal life.

Then Rick gets his chance: the assignment to kill six Nexus-6 targets, for a huge reward.

But in Deckard’s world things are never that simple, and his assignment quickly turns into a nightmare kaleidoscope of subterfuge and deceit – and the threat of death for the hunter rather than the hunted…

Published to celebrate the life and work of Philip K. Dick, the bestselling author of BLADE RUNNER and MINORITY REPORT, on the twenty-fifth anniversary of his death
