    “Book Descriptions: In Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? the Earth has been poisoned by war, populated only by those doomed by contamination or too poor to move to Mars. Rick Deckard is a bounty hunter tasked with ‘retiring’ illegal andys – androids so indistinguishable from humans that only an empathy test can root them out. When a gang of Nexus-6 models escapes their colony and hides on Earth, Deckard must track them down before they retire him, while his own understanding of what is real and what is fake is thrown into question.

    Published over a decade later, psychedelic cult favourite A Scanner Darkly follows narcotics cop Fred as he goes undercover to bring down the dealers of a lethal new drug called Substance D. It’s dangerous work, requiring Fred to become a user himself, but with his high-tech ‘scramble suit’ his identity is safe – not even his colleagues know who he really is. As the drug does its insidious work, Fred is caught in an increasingly complex web of paranoia, multiple identities and double crosses, made all the more nightmarish by a series of reality-shattering illusions. Who are his friends? Who are his enemies? And who, ultimately, is Fred?”
