Sycamore reviewed Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick (Blade Runner)
Prescient and gripping if somewhat inscrutable
3 stars
I mostly knew what I was getting myself into since I've seen Blade Runner before, but I have to say I enjoyed the book more. I picked it up in light of the latest AI hype cycle currently strangling Silicon Valley to see what Dick was thinking about this topic all those years ago. I found it to be a fun page-turner with some interesting ideas scattered throughout. In the end, though, I had a hard time making sense of some of the main character's motivations.
