Ep 611 - Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, by Philip K. Dick 1:08:35

3d ago1:08:35

1:08:35

This novel was the genesis of the Blade Runner film franchise, which means like many books it gets eclipsed a bit by its adaptation. But does the movie have a gadget you can use to make yourself feel specific emotions, including the emotion that makes you want to use the gadget more? I didn't think so. Our theme music was composed by Nick Lerangis.…
