Today we have the book that Blade Runner is based off. This might not be the best PKD book but well worth reading.
In the short story collection “The Eye of the Sibyl” be sure to listen to “The Little Black Box”(https://youtu.be/X8F3EJ7dTtM?t=906) which sort of ties into this story. It’s about the religion Mercerism but told from a different angle than in here.
“In the year 2021 Rick Deckard is employed on a dying Earth as a bounty hunter. He seeks androids that look like humans and destroys them.”

Wow, So PKD invented the English/Japanese language thing. Dude was some sort of samurai/shaman.
This is SO different from the BladeRunner movie. I wonder now, if they had made another movie true to the book, how would the 2 compare side by side? 😮
