Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? is set in a post-apocalyptic San Francisco devastated by a nuclear war that has driven most animal species to extinction. In this world, owning a real animal is a moral obligation and symbol of social status. Rick Deckard, a bounty hunter, is tasked with "retiring" six Nexus-6 androids — nearly indistinguishable from humans — who have fled from the colonies to Earth. The novel probes deep philosophical themes about the nature of humanity, the moral weight of empathy, and the blurred boundaries between the artificial and the natural.
