Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
A great book. It has an interesting and original setting, the kind you can only find in science fiction from those years, instead of the usual clichés about cyberpunk or "our world, but slightly more technologically advanced." A good plot with unexpected twists, but one that still adheres to the rules of the setting and doesn't suddenly try to say that everything was not as it was presented before. And I wanted to highlight something else, the most important merit, but I couldn't find the right words for a long time. So even the words I've chosen might be inaccurate. And this book also shows ambiguity, that famous gray morality, although some might say it's far from gray. The world shown there is not black and white, although sometimes it may seem that way. And the hero's internal struggles in this regard are truly felt. And it doesn't seem forced just to make everything feel more edgy; it's a natural result of the well-developed world and its rules, which I wrote about at the beginning. I really enjoyed it. And separately, I'll talk about the "adaptation," namely Blade Runner 1981. I never liked this movie, but now I downright hate it. I don't know if I had read the book and then gone to the cinema, I probably would have had a fit. To mutilate, vulgarize, cut out everything smart, and leave only a stupid action movie is simply disgusting. But at the same time, to keep one scene almost untouched, just to remind the readers of the book that yes, it was your book that we butchered and turned into a mess; see, here's a scene from it. I hate this movie so much...
The story is wonderful; I recommend it to everyone.
