Reviews for Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep (#4 SF Masterworks)

One of the most original practitioners writing any kind of fiction, Dick made most of the European avant-garde seem like navel-gazers in a cul-de-sac * Sunday Times * My literary hero * Fay Weldon * For everyone lost in the endlessly multiplicating realities of the modern world, remember: Philip K. Dick got there first * Terry Gilliam * A masterclass in sci-fi wonderment * Empire *
