A trailblazing sci-fi classic of the highest order, Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep? is a masterclass of imaginative writing, mining a rich and expansive seam of questions of human identity, conspiracy and paranoia.
World War Terminus devastated the Earth. Through its ruins, bounty hunter Rick Deckard searches for the renegade replicants he is sent to 'retire', while he dreams of owning a live animal - the ultimate status symbol in a world all but bereft of natural life.
The opportunity of a lifetime: kill six Nexus-6 targets, for a huge reward. But in Deckard's world things aren't that simple, and his assignment turns into a nightmare kaleidoscope of subterfuge and deceit - and the hunter becomes the hunted.
