About the book

This volume brings together Philip K. Dick's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? and A Scanner Darkly, two novels that challenge the boundaries of identity and reality. Bounty hunter Rick Deckard pursues escaped androids in a damaged future world, while undercover agent Bob Arctor becomes trapped in a drug investigation that turns his own life into an object of surveillance. Artificial intelligence, addiction, empathy and unreliable perception give the stories different forms of urgency. Both ask how a person can recognise the truth when the systems used to judge it are themselves compromised.
