Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?

Our third selection (and my first pick) in the Dark and Stormy Book Club is Philip K. Dick’s Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? This is the novel that inspired the film Blade Runner.

That’s one of my top 5 films of all-time, which is largely what inspired me to begin my exploration of Dick’s work here. As deftly as this book explores the nature of life and reality, it’s almost deceptively simply written. It’s as if it covertly injects you with profundity.

Please come and explore it with us.

  1. You do realize that any video I actually manage to take will be nonsense? The last time I had a video camera when with my sister I ended up with a whole lot of footage of the ground and nothing else. It was as if I wasn’t pressing record all the way when I thought I was filming something interesting, and then, after I lowered the camera, the recording really started.

    Here’s hoping for a steady hand. Not that I will be impaired – MUCH.

    I know, I know – as an English teacher, that’s practically heretical of me to say, but I have this pathology, see? I’m like Imelda Marcos, but with books….
