Discovering the Electric Dystopia: An Analysis of Conversations in Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?

Abstract

This Bachelor Thesis examines the use of conversation in Phillip K. Dick’s "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?". It analyses these conversations in terms of staged conversation and spontaneous conversation, as well as examining how these conversations raise the issues of inequality, empathy, and defining the human; and how these conversations make both Deckard and Isidore view their world as a dystopia.
