The Vibe

Rick Deckard hunts androids for a living. The androids look human, think like humans, feel like humans β€” maybe. In a post-nuclear San Francisco where real animals are status symbols and empathy is tested with machines, the question isn't whether androids are alive. It's whether Deckard is. The novel that became Blade Runner.
