This week i listened to the audio version of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, fully forgetting that Blade Runner was based off of this, so when were watching the film in class, im sitting their thinking ok, this is starting to feel very familiar, its funny because ive already seen Blade Runner and i knew it was based off of the book but i guess somewhere along the way i forgot, anyway really cool really weird.
So for this week i have been asked to discuss the types of reality rendered in what i read for this week. Reality is a funny thing. I often wonder if the current world we live in is a reality, or is it a simulation, i only think about this because of dreams and how real some dreams can seem. If a dream can feel so real, why cant the human existence be a simulation, we wouldn't know the difference. Sometimes i feel like 10 years ago was just yesterday and sometimes it feels like 10 years ago, but i digress.
The perceived reality of the conscious in some of the characters in Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep leave the ready often wondering, who to believe and what reality they are actually in, its exciting for me but for most i find it disorienting and frustrating, its the not know of whats going on in any particular moment that people hate, they want to know whats going on, why people are making the decisions their making all at once...Its a damn shame
