"The most consistently brilliant science fiction writer in the world."
--John Brunner
THE INSPIRATION FOR BLADERUNNER. . .
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? was published in 1968. Grim and foreboding, even today it is a masterpiece ahead of its time.
By 2021, the World War had killed millions, driving entire species into extinction and sending mankind off-planet. Those who remained coveted any living creature, and for people who couldn't afford one, companies built incredibly realistic simulacrae: horses, birds, cats, sheep. . .
They even built humans.
Emigrees to Mars received androids so sophisticated it was impossible to tell them from true men or women. Fearful of the havoc these artificial humans could wreak, the government banned them from Earth. But when androids didn't want to be identified, they just blended in.
Rick Deckard was an officially sanctioned bounty hunter whose job was to find rogue androids, and to retire them. But cornered, androids tended to fight back, with deadly results.
"[Dick] sees all the sparkling and terrifying possibilities. . . that other authors shy away from."
--Paul Williams

我这节课名为 “The Meaning of Technology”,这位名为Warren Steele的教授声称他读了此书几十遍,看了电影更多遍,对这故事爱到入骨。 这名教授声称这是一本关于“tenderness”的书,虽然机器和杀戮都是冷冰冰,但他从头到尾都觉得满是温柔。 他说为什么Deckard不愿移民?...

久违的长篇科幻。看完银翼杀手2049来的,但关系不大,基本是前后传的区别。 作者很喜欢用插入语,开始读得挺累,后来就习惯了。第五章起渐入佳境,最喜欢蒙克画展那章。 人类&仿生人和真假动物的identity crisis写得透彻,节奏流畅,一口气读完很爽。就是角色都没什么人格魅力,当个故事看完就散。 需读叶芝。

书和电影各有千秋,看完以后似乎更喜欢电影的改编,可能是先入为主吧

感觉怪空虚的 这是很多书的写作方式吧 r&m里也提到了 到了最后 一切都改变了 与此同时 一切都没有改变。
