Beskrivelse
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, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

Bogen univers er ganske unikt og sp?ndende.. Men plottet er ikke lig filmen.

Et stykke utrolig dyb science fiction der centralt behandler sp?rgsm?let om hvad der er ?gte. Dette g?res gennem virkemidler som de titul?re androider, mood organs der kunstigt skaber f?lelser og Mercerismen, en religion funderet p? en virtual reality oplevelse hvori alle medlemmer deltager i messiasens liv. Alle disse f?nomeners kunstighed tages op til overvejelse i et handlingsforl?b der efterlader hovedpersoner s?vel som l?ser lidt ontologisk rundtosset. Dette er dog kun godt, idet Dick form?r at bruge en genre der i popul?rbevidstheden er kendt for letford?jelige eventyr, til at behandle en problemstilling der er s? dybt fascinerende at han og mange akademikere har dedikeret livet til at studere den. Skrivestilen er til tider direkte humoristisk som når en reklame for kolonisering af det ydre rum lover "Recreates the halcyon days of the pre-Civil War West". Dialogen ligger perfekt i munden på det diverse karaktergalleri, specielt hos John Isidore, et "chickenhead" der udviser slående intellekt, f.eks. når han forklarer om "kipple", en version af entropien, der opsluger romanens verden. Forfatterens andre v?rker, som The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch og Ubik, anbefales ogs? varmt.
