3- part review of "Blade Runner"

Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? (Blade Runner), Philip K. Dick

3 part book review:

1. Important question(s). . . . . . . . . . . What makes life fulfilling?
2. 3 words/phrases. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Empathy, Rich, Unsuspecting
3. What I learned. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Compassion and empathy make us human

Action, Adventure, and Scifi all smushed in a closet of a world that you can get lost in.

For the main character life became fulfilling with his sheep.The sheep helps him practice empathy.

The book pokes around the question of what it means to be alive. As our main character hunts for robots he finds dissatisfaction and the importance of compassion.

*Spoiler* . . . . I didn't really like the goat-fall ending, our character was so close

to being in peace, made me sad that he never got the goat.

The merciless act by the perfectly encapsulated what it meant to be an android-

what it meant to be an almost-human. The Spider mutilation was very effective in depicting the moral flaws of androids. Empathy (or absence of it) really makes this book an interesting read.
