Description

World War Terminus had left the Earth devastated. Through its ruins, bounty hunter Rick Deckard stalked, in search of the renegade replicants who were his prey. When he wasn't retiring them with his laser weapon, he dreamed of owning a live animal -- the ultimate status symbol in a world all but bereft of animal life. Then Rick got his chance: the assignment to kill six Nexus-6 targets, for a huge reward. But in Deckard's world things were never that simple, and his assignment quickly turned into a nightmare kaleidoscope of subterfuge and deceit -- and the threat of death for the hunter rather than the hunted...

Absolutely fantastic book! It is more about the concepts of the world, but there are just so many ideas jam packed in this story. I really love all the elements shown in this book and how they can contrast each other and are different between the different people/androids in the story. It all comes together amazingly well. It leaves you with questions about the books opinion and your own opinions of things, without feeling unsatisfied by the ending.

Mood: funny · bittersweet Pacing: medium-paced Focus: character-driven

Leer esto mientras juego Detroit Become Human fue una experiencia demasiado filosófica, la pregunta constante de qué nos diferencia de los animales, los animales electrónicos o los androides. La idea de una caja de empatía y poder controlar tus emociones me parece muy interesante.

This book left me with a lot of thoughts. Although seemingly haphazard events at first, it eventually culminates to make you really ponder on the main character’s journey in contrast with the B-plot. It’s a book that keeps you guessing until a certain point, and once you finish it you’re questioning your guesses even more.
