"Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" Part 1

I won't lie ... I am honestly in love with this story. There's something about the language that Philip K. Dick uses that truly has me turning the pages to find out more. Science fiction has always been a subject that has intrigued me, so I am not really surprised that I am enjoying this book.

One of the aspects I really enjoy is the characters. Rick's personality helps readers begin to understand the differences of this world almost immediately. While he is a regular "guy," there are so many components that set him apart from the men of today. I'm still not quite clear on why this is necessary, but Rick, and other humans left on Earth, take pills that change their moods. My main question is: is the dust on Earth the reason that people need to take these pills?

I'm very excited to see what the rest of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? has in store for us.
