'Electric Sheep!?' ...

Investigation into ‘Blade Runner’ and Philip K. Dick ensued. As someone who has always enjoyed reading and felt the need to strive to read more and more, soak up more ideas, more knowledge, learn all that I can, naturally I wanted to read the novel. I quickly learned that it was in fact titled ‘Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?’. The title struck me as most bizarre … ‘Electric sheep!?’ I thought, ‘I don’t recall that from the film?’ But I ordered the book regardless. Eager and excited after reading a few comments about the differences between the film and the book. I’ve always found myself preferring the book to the film, in every case, I wondered if this would prove the same.

My investigation also revealed something else which made me even more eager to delve into Dick’s SF world, ‘Totall Recall’ (A SF movie much loved by myself which ive seen many times) was an adaptation of the Dick story ‘We can remember it for you Wholesale’. The more I read about Dick’s books the more of his books I wanted to read. My mental reading list was growing rapidly, I needed to hunt for more books.
