Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?

Dick's masterwork asks the question that defines our age: what separates the real from the artificial? Long before ChatGPT, before deepfakes, before our current crisis of authenticity, Dick understood that empathy—messy, irrational, painful empathy—is what makes us human. The novel that inspired Blade Runner is somehow even more relevant than the film.

For those fascinated by Dick's questions about reality, William Gibson's Neuromancer takes the conversation into cyberspace, while Schrödinger's Cat Trilogy by Robert Anton Wilson explores similar questions through a wildly different philosophical lens.
