  • Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep (1968)
    Nov 11 2024

    In this dystopian game-changer from 1968, visionary Philip K. Dick saw our AI anxieties coming from a mile away. Before personal computers were even a thing, his mind-bending novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? threw us into a world where humans and machines play an unsettling game of "spot the difference." As real-world astronauts prepped for moonshots, Dick was busy crafting a gritty future that would make us question everything about consciousness and humanity. Buckle up for the sci-fi classic that didn't just predict our robot reality—it completely nailed our complicated feelings about it. Essential reading that hits differently in today's age of ChatGPT and AI art generators. Bonus: It inspired a little movie called Blade Runner. You might've heard of it?
