About Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
World War Terminus devastated the Earth. Through its ruins, bounty hunter Rick Deckard searches for the renegade androids he is sent to 'retire', while he dreams of owning a live animal - the ultimate status symbol in a world all but bereft of natural life. The opportunity of a lifetime: kill six Nexus-6 targets, for a huge reward. But in Deckard's world things aren't that simple, and his assignment turns into a nightmare kaleidoscope of subterfuge and deceit - and the hunter becomes the hunted.
