That said, it's absolutely wild that Mr. Dick thought there would be androids in the 70s when he wrote it in 1968 and computers were still the size of rooms. The main story is set in 2021 and I really think he would have done better to push it back to the 2200s it would be a lot more believable. It's dark, dystopian, and tragic. And I don't think he actually understands what empathy means.
Blade runner is supposed to be based on this and all I can say is from what I remember the movie they left a whole lot out.
However bad the world is right now, at least we're doing better than this.
