Philip K. Dick's "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" is a thought-provoking dystopian novel set in a post-apocalyptic world where humanity grapples with the aftermath of a global catastrophe. Following bounty hunter Rick Deckard, the narrative explores a society where owning a real animal is a status symbol, and artificial creatures (androids) are hunted down. As Deckard pursues rogue androids, he confronts ethical dilemmas and questions the essence of humanity. This introspective journey delves into themes of empathy, artificial intelligence, and the blurred boundaries between human and artificial life, challenging readers to ponder the meaning of existence in a technologically driven world.
