San Francisco lies under a cloud of radioactive dust. People live in
half-deserted apartment buildings, and keep electric animals as pets because so
many real animals have died. Most people emigrate to Mars - unless they have a
job to do on Earth. Like Rick Deckard - android killer for the police and owner
of an electric sheep. This week he has to find, identify, and kill six androids
which have escaped from Mars. They're machines, but they look and sound and
think like humans - clever, dangerous humans. They will be hard to kill. The
film Blade Runner was based on this famous novel.
