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 character John R Isidore, who has been recently classified as a "special". He is ineligible for emigration to the colonies, lives by himself in an apartment building in the suburbs, and holds a job as a driver for a false/electric animal hospital. A number of the chapters of the novel focus on Isidore, particularly once he begins interacting with three of the androids the bounty hunter Deckard is seeking.
