I thought I was going to rate the book lower. But after thinking on it, watching Blade Runner and Blade Runner 2049 and explaining the themes and plot in great detail to my husband.... I think I fell in love with it? Maybe not quite because it suffers from some general misogyny and the ending having several themes be forgotten a bit or lost in the mix of the main character being horny. But overall it offers a lot and is clearly a seminal work when it comes to exploring what it means to be human in media afterwards. Fun and solid.
