Episode 40 - Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep
Description
This week we are recapping the iconic 60's sci-fi novel by Philip K. Dick. Yeah, the one that Bladerunner is based on. In an incredibly bleak dystopian future, Rick Deckard has to kill a bunch of androids so he can get himself a new farm animal. First he just had to deal with this damn "empathy" thing that makes him feel bad about murder-copping his way through San Francisco.
The High Tech Low Life Podcast is a retrospective of cyberpunk fiction across all forms of media. Film, Television, Literature, Games, and Music are all on the table. In each episode we will revisit the property, it's influences, it's prescience, and enshrine it in the chrome and neon halls of Neo Valhalla.
