This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th Century American science-fiction short story writer and novelist, Philip K. Dick's novel Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep
It focuses specifically on the Voight-Kampff Empathy Test used by bounty-hunters to distinguish between androids and humans. We cover how the test works, whether or not it is or remains a valid instrument, representative questions from the test, and who the test is given to in the course of the novel.
