Inspiration for one of the greatest classics of cinema, directed by Ridley Scott, this novel is by the prolific and revolutionary Philip K. Dick, one of the greatest exponents of counterculture in science fiction during the 60s and 70s. Rick Deckard is a bounty hunter living in a decadent San Francisco, covered in radioactive dust that decimated countless species of animals and plants. A new job could be the turning point to improve his standard of living and fulfill his consumer dream: a real sheep, to replace the electric replica he keeps at home. To do this, Deckard needs to track down and retire six androids who are on the run, posing as humans. But the detective's convictions may change when he realizes that the line separating the real from the manufactured is no longer as clear as he believed. In *Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?*, the original title of this book, Philip K. Dick creates a dark and disturbing atmosphere to tell a compelling story and address profound philosophical questions about the nature of life, religion, technology, and the human condition itself. This new edition features a cover illustrated by Rafael Coutinho, with design by Giovanna Cianelli. The scene imagined by Coutinho pays homage to the film and recaptures the noir crime atmosphere of the novel, while also exploring the atmosphere of doubt and secrets present in Dick's work.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
