Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep? 2 by Philip K. Dick

In a post-apocalyptic world ravaged by nuclear war, humanity clings to the remnants of civilization, where owning real animals is a status symbol and empathy is a rare commodity. The story follows a bounty hunter tasked with "retiring" rogue androids who have escaped to Earth, blending seamlessly among humans. As he navigates a morally ambiguous landscape, he grapples with questions of identity, empathy, and what it truly means to be human, blurring the lines between man and machine in a society teetering on the brink of collapse.
