It was January 2021, and Rick Deckard had a license to kill. Somewhere among the hordes of humans out there, lurked several rogue androids. Deckard's assignment--find them and then..."retire" them. Trouble was, the androids all looked exactly like humans, and they didn't want to be found!

Review of 'Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?' on 'Goodreads'

Pew-pew laser action paired with musings about what it means to be human, what a combination of topics we find in this short novel. The plot is interesting enough with a varied pacing - some chapters flow much more slowly than others. The different narrators make things more interesting.

Somehow this book didn't quite catch me the way I had expected it to. It may have been my mood, wrong timing, but it joint found everything in this story "ok". This should not hold you back - I enjoyed reading it, just less than I had anticipated.

Review of 'Androides Sonham com Ovelhas Elétricas?' on 'Goodreads'

Achei que o filme fosse mais fiel ao livro, mas fui surpreendido ao ler uma nova história, que adorei!

O enredo é um recorte de um futuro distópico pós-guerra, com crenças religiosas dúbias e preocupação com status sociais. Aborda temas como depressão, ócio, sofrimento, dúvida moral e, por fim, o retorno à vida cotidiana, onde tudo e nada mudam ao mesmo tempo. É um retrato futurista com roupagem nova para questões que afligem a humanidade há séculos. Um drama humano vivido no passado, no presente e que, sem dúvidas, será vivido no futuro.

Para mim, nota 10/10! Linguagem simples, enredo envolvente, história de tamanho ideal, apresentando elementos inteligentes de maneira gradual e sem enrolação.

Review of 'Blade Runner' on 'Goodreads'

I seem to have gotten a weird version of this Audiobook narrated by Scot Brick. I thought they called it Blade Runner instead of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? for marketing purposes. But then I notices somewhere that is says "Based on Philip K. Dicks NOvel".

Strange because it's nothing like the movie so I guess it's not edited much.

In any case I read this edited version.

I'm usually intimidated by books that get so much acclaim, but Dick is really does some good human sci-fi.

The way reality is challenged especially towards the end when Merserism is both disproved and manifest simultaneously was a bit too much, but this is Dick.

I enjoyed the way he slowly got me to sympathize with the Androids and then shows you their psychopathic side, yet again making you ambivalent as to Dekers job.

Review of 'Blade Runner.' on 'Goodreads'

[a:Philip K. Dick|4764|Philip K. Dick|http://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1264613853p2/4764.jpg] is one of those writers who employs science fiction story telling to explore themes of philosophical depth. That advanced artificial intelligence could lead us into serious ethical problems is a topic that has certainly been explored before, but what I find special about [b:Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?|7082|Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?|Philip K. Dick|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1327865673s/7082.jpg|830939] is the fact, that it left me with ambiguous feelings about androids. On the one hand it creates sympathy and compassion for androids as repressed beings, that have basically been invented to reintroduce slavery. But on the other hand their purported absence of empathy creates a certain fear of their more or less unpredictable moral behaviour and "inhumanity".

While I also enjoyed the rather dark atmosphere of the book, I found it's overall plot quite confusing.
