This sci-fi classic appeals to the pimply-faced sixteen-year-old nerd in me. Set in a post-apocalyptic San Francisco, it chronicles the existential angst of organic androids who are treated as chattel, and rise up against their makers. Both an action-packed detective story and a philosophical exploration of what it means to be human, the novel was adapted into the cult film Blade Runner, together with which it stands as “exhibit A” in the gallery of postmodernity.
