Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?

Philip K. Dick

On Friday I managed to see Blade Runner, a film that I should see some time ago (and I had several opportunities to see it).
The film itself I found it delightful, especially the contrast between entirely futuristic machines (like flying cars) with computers "advanced for the eighties '" but old for our current point of view (you know, CRT monitors).
The point I want to emphasize is that once the film finished, I went to discover more about it (usually, whenever I finish a movie that touched me, I read about it on Wikipedia), and I found that it was based (loosely) on the novel "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? " by Philip K. Dick. Then I decided to see if I had the ebook, and it turns out that yes, I had it. So I started reading it. This was on Saturday.

Sadly, it's a short novel, so short that I finish it that day. But hey, I have a certain "addiction" to damn good narrative books, that I can't stop reading until I have finished.
The novel itself puts some emphasis between what is real and what is fiction. At what point we can differentiate ourselves from these androids, which were more human than one.
It's a novel that touches on the theme of empathy in an interesting way. At least, managed me to connect with certain characters (especially with the poor Isidore), showing the reactions of somebody to another living beings, when there is a lack of empathy.
This brings me memories of a certain author, saying that evil was nothing more than a lack of empathy, and may be right.
I do not like to throw much spoilers, but if you are interested in science fiction stories, and Blade Runner, be sure to read it.
I leave a link to the page of Philip K. Dick (not sure if it's official or not) where you have the summary, along with the other novels he wrote.
I also leave you two links to download the book, in english and spanish (I believe that the author at present cares more people to read what he wrote, more than making money, because he died thirty years ago):

(english) A YouTube video with the links on the description.
(español) En este página tenes las direcciones para descargar el libro en español.

I'm in the need of finish this post with a quote of Roy Batty (from the movie):

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I've watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.

Greetings from the Mercer's mountain.
PS:  An interesting thing happened last Thursday. I was telling a friend that recently I was watching the literary books as a waste of time. How wrong I was! I had forgotten the beautiful feeling that only a book can offers.
