Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?

About This Novel
Within 24 hours, the bounty hunter Deckard has to make these choices: 1. Continue to stay on the earth after the nuclear war and endure the radiation, or go to colonize the planet and start a new life? 2. Do you want to buy a real sheep to replace the electronic sheep on the roof? There is a certain respectability associated with owning an expensive animal, but it is indeed a significant expense. 3. Do you want to kill that beautiful android? She had a face that he liked. What was important was that the constant killings made him tired and shaken. 4. Is he really a "human"? Can humans kill androids without restraint? Doing wrong things, things you shouldn't do, things that betray your identity - this is the curse of life, the shortcomings of creation, and the inescapable law of the universe. Fortunately, you can still choose what to do and who to be.

A science fiction novel with unlimited imagination and profound thoughts
First of all, I am ashamed to say that there are many parts that I cannot understand, or that I am unable to stop and think deeply in many places due to the "listening to books" method. What are the subtle differences between special beings, humans, and androids? In the future, the earth is approaching its end, and there are only a few animals left (mostly bionic animals, real animals are very, very valuable, even just a toad). Most of them have moved to Mars. The androids can only survive on Mars. If they return (smuggle) to Earth, they will be hunted by bounty hunters. Bionic humans already have many human physiological characteristics. In addition to the emotional function of "empathy", bionic animals are also almost fake. The author's appendix at the end is no less than the main text, describing many psychological and social characteristics, as well as the personal creative process. Overall, worth reading. Thank.

It's a bit one-sided, not having pets doesn't mean you don't have empathy. If an android fails to pass the empathy test, it is tantamount to being insincere and dangerous. But where is the danger to humanity itself?
The plot is compact and fascinating. At first I thought I might not be able to stand it, but when I entered the main plot of killing androids, I was immediately attracted. I really like some of the little twists in it, and the protagonist is really capable. Bionic humans cannot replace humans, but humans live as numbly as bionic humans and use regulators to control their emotions. Perhaps there is no essential difference between the emotional module of bionic humans and that of bionic humans.

In the original work of the classic movie "Blade Runner", bionic people are infinitely close to humans in appearance and mind. So what will humans be like? Philip K. Dick's most famous novel is the origin of cyberpunk.
A pioneer of cyberpunk, when androids have emotions, how should we define the ownership of the soul? How do we prove that we are "human"?
