Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K DickRead about the other entries on the list.
In a world after nuclear war, humans and animals are poisoned by fallout. Humans have made android animals to remind them of life on Earth before the cataclysm. Synthetic humans, lacking only the capacity for empathy, labour on Mars, but some escape and bounty hunter Rick Deckard (who is the owner of an electric sheep) is given the task of "retiring" them.
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? also appears on Charlie Jane Anders and Michael Ann Dobbs's list of ten classic sci-fi books that were originally considered failures and Robert Collins's top ten list of dystopian novels.
