Zivan reviewed Blade Runner by Philip K. Dick
Review of 'Blade Runner' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
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.
