4/5
Del Rey 240 pages January 1, 1968

Jim's Review
🐛
You know this one inspired Blade Runner, but the book is its own magnificent beast. Philip K. Dick was asking "what makes us human?" before it was cool, and his answer is wonderfully unsettling. The electric sheep, the mood organs, the Penfield empathy test — every detail in this world is perfectly off-kilter. Jim has burrowed through this slim volume multiple times and finds something new every read. Four worms — trippy, philosophical, unforgettable.
