Popularly known as 'Blade Runner', because of its incarnation as a movie, 'Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?' is Dick's most famous title. Stalking androids in 21st century megalopolis, Deckard begins to question just who is human and what human is.

They've even built humanoids who are just as convincing... When bounty hunter Rick Deckard, owner of an electric sheep, is instructed to track down and 'retire' six human-style androids that went rogue, he's glad of the job - he'd love to be able to afford a real animal again. But then he himself is accused of being an 'andy'...
