Blade Runner (Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep) MMPB 25th Anniversary Edition

Description

Originally published in 1968, this foreboding adventure is a masterpiece ahead of its time. In our own near future, a world war has killed millions, driving entire species into extinction and sending humankind off-planet. Those who remain covet any living creatures, and this desire spawns the technology to build incredibly realistic simulacra: horses, birds, cats, sheep...and humans. Fearful of the havoc these artificial humans can wreak, the government bans them from Earth. But androids don't want to be identified; they just blend in. And it's bounty hunter Rick Deckard's job to track down any fugitives--and destroy them.">The year is 2021. Somewhere out there, among the hordes of humans, lurk several rogue androids. Rick Deckard's assignment: find them and then..."retire" them. Trouble is, the androids all look and act exactly like humans, and they don't want to be found.
