This was an interesting book, particularly from a 2023 perspective. Dick's foresight and creativity were certainly lacking in areas. While he could imagine a future with androids almost indistinguishable from humans, he still made every secretary a woman, and money is still physical coins and bills despite no longer being a dollar.
The story itself is fun and interesting. It poses many ethical questions about humanity, and doesn't seek to answer them, but instead make you think. I'm excited to read more about the book and other people's opinions.
While I absolutely think this would ruin the book, I would now love to read a chapter from one of the android's perspectives--particularly to see what Dick believed of them.
