For anybody wondering, it's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep by Philip K. Dick

[–] TeamAssimilation@infosec.pub 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Or his lesser known work, "Do Androids Dream of Electric Dick?".

No, that's the fanfic on AO3. Really well-written, even has a plot, you should go read it.

It doesn't have the same feel as Blade Runner (1982), but it's still a good read. I felt like it filled BR's setting in ways that enhance the movie.

[–] IonAddis@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

The ones in the AO3 fanfics do, that's for sure!

Even the robots can't escape the morning wood? Sad

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

As a human person who has dreams when ~~it shuts off for several hours~~ he sleeps, do we not all dream of the male homo sapiens external genitals?

[–] TIEPilot@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

It looks like a chrome piggy bank w/ marital aids stuck all over it...

Frank Zappa predicted this.
