Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep - Philip K. Dick - 1969 3rd Signet Paperback

$125.00
By 2021, the World War has killed millions, driving entire species into extinction and sending mankind off-planet. Those who remain covet any living creature, and for people who can't afford one, companies build incredibly realistic simulacra: horses, birds, cats, sheep. They've even built humans. Immigrants to Mars receive androids so sophisticated they are indistinguishable from true men or women. Fearful of the havoc these artificial humans could wreak, the government bans them from Earth. Driven into hiding, unauthorized androids live among human beings, undetected. Rick Deckard, an officially sanctioned bounty hunter, is commissioned to find rogue androids and "retire" them. But when cornered, androids fight back - with lethal force. The Inspiration for the Film BLADE RUNNER. Originally published in 1968, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? remains a masterpiece ahead of its time, a prescient rendering of a dark future. 16mo trade paperback. 1st edition, 3rd printing. T4758 on spine. Paperback in good condition. Creasing at the spine. Wear to the covers. What was a .75 price tag has been marked over in black ink. Some sunning to page edges. Binding is sound. All pages intact. No internal marks or foxing. Take a look at photos for details and ask any questions.
