Synopsis: By 2021, the World War had killed
millions, driving entire species into extinction and sending mankind
off-planet. Those who remained coveted any living creature, and for
people who couldn't afford one, companies built incredibly realistic
simulacrae: horses, birds, cats, sheep ...
They even built humans.
Emigrees to Mars received androids so sophisticated it was impossible
to tell them from true men or women. Fearful of the havoc these
artificial humans could wreak, the government banned them from Earth.
But when androids didn't want to be identified, they just blended in.
Rick Deckard was an officially sanctioned bounty hunter whose job was
to find rogue androids, and to retire them. But cornered, androids
tended to fight back, with deadly results.
