Philip K Dick | Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? – Oxford Bookworms Library, Level 5
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? is an accessible Oxford Bookworms Library Level 5 adaptation of Philip K. Dick's celebrated science-fiction novel, retold by Andy Hopkins and Joc Potter for learners of English. San Francisco lies beneath a cloud of radioactive dust, real animals have become increasingly rare, and most people have emigrated to Mars. Rick Deckard remains on Earth, working for the police as an android hunter while keeping an electric sheep as a substitute for the living animal he cannot afford.
His latest assignment is to find and destroy six androids that have escaped from Mars. The problem is that they look, speak and think like human beings – intelligent, resourceful and dangerous ones. Combining suspenseful science fiction with provocative questions about empathy and what it means to be human, this carefully graded edition makes Dick's influential story accessible to confident learners of English. The original novel famously inspired Ridley Scott's Blade Runner.
