The science fiction masterpiece behind the cult classic films
Bladerunner and Bladerunner 2049. World War Terminus had left the
Earth devastated. Through its ruins, bounty hunter Rick Deckard
stalked, in search of the renegade replicants who were his prey.
When he wasn't 'retiring' them with his laser weapon, he dreamed of
owning a live animal - the ultimate status symbol in a world all
but bereft of animal life. Then Rick got his chance: the assignment
to kill six Nexus-6 targets, for a huge reward. But in Deckard's
world things were never that simple, and his assignment quickly
turned into a nightmare kaleidoscope of subterfuge and deceit - and
the threat of death for the hunter rather than the hunted ...
Readers have been blown away by Philip K. Dick: 'Now I understand
what all the fuss is about. The guy is a visionary . . . Every
paragraph launches us forward, demands our attention . . . a
classic example of the finest science fiction' Goodreads reviewer,
'Probably my favourite Philip K. Dick book . . . set in a dystopian
Earth much dilapidated after 'World War Terminus' . . . I cannot
praise this book enough, it really is one of the all-time greats'
Goodreads reviewer, 'A science fiction masterpiece . . . about a
post-apocalyptic world seeking resurrection through the rediscovery
of empathy. But who is more empathetic - humans or androids? What
is the dividing line? The book constantly explores how far human
ideas of life, death, religion and love could survive in a dark
uncaring world' Goodreads reviewer, 'I thought this was great and
original . . . The Earth has become barely habitable due to nuclear
winter, radiation and depopulation . . . a really cool story and I
think only PKD could have written something of this style. I would
recommend this . . . if you liked the Blade Runner movies'
Goodreads reviewer,
