3-13-09 Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep by Philip K. Dick - Fiction

4 - This really is a good book and varies subtly from the movie. Of course that's if I'm remembering the movie correctly; it's been a while. Dick focuses on the preciousness of life in all forms and differentiates humans from androids with one trait: empathy. Androids have no understanding or emotion toward life itself, just an ingrained and evolved sense of survival. Yet they have learned to fit into a human society in the best manner possible but can never quite seem "right". A very interesting look at humanity.
