Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? & A Scanner Darkly

Folio Society Collector's Edition, 2017
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? and A Scanner Darkly are two of Philip K. Dick's most important novels, brought together here in a single Folio Society collector's volume. Do Androids Dream (1968), set in a post-nuclear-war future where bounty hunter Rick Deckard pursues escaped androids indistinguishable from humans, was the basis for Ridley Scott's Blade Runner and remains one of the most influential works in the genre. A Scanner Darkly (1977), winner of the British Science Fiction Association Award for Best Novel in 1978, is Dick's semi-autobiographical account of a narcotics agent whose Substance D addiction erodes his grip on his own identity. This Folio Society Collector's Edition (2017) pairs the two novels in a single volume illustrated by Andrew Archer and Chris Skinner, with two full-page color illustrations and a double-page-spread. Quarter-bound in cloth with paper sides. Issued without a dust jacket.
