Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
It was January 2021, and Rick Deckard had a license to kill.
Somewhere among the hordes of humans out there, lurked several rogue androids. Deckard's assignment--find them and then..."retire" them. Trouble was, the androids all looked exactly like humans, and they didn't want to be found!

I liked it, but some of the scenes seemed to jump and the characters had unreasonable reactions. The other problem I had was the "chickenhead" was supposed to be stupid and not able to pass an IQ test, but he seemed like the average american. Some of the language the "chickenhead" used was more advanced than the average person could comprehend.
Re-read. Used to teach this book, actually. So much better, thematically, than the original movie. I suppose technically the sequel too although that is one of my favorite movies ever. But for those that haven't read the book, there is a lot more to it - a whole religion b-plot, a whole discussion of animals relationship to humans, artificial manipulation of human emotions. Just amazingly top notch sci fi novel of ideas. At times, PKD can write some awkward dialogue, but it's not at all a problem. Just so good.
