#Philip K Dick's Electric Dreams

we're gendered whichever way is most conducive to punishment or humiliation

I haven't watdched all of Philip K Dicks Electric Dreams TV Show but I did enjoy Safe And Sound, The Hood Maker and Autofac. So far.

Safe And Sound is very close to reality, as it is right now, The Hood Maker was very emotionally engaging and Autofac went a way I wasn't prepared & very beautifully.

Philip K. Dick, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? (1968)

[jstor]

Nine covers of Philip K. Dick's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? (AKA Blade Runner, of course).

Cornell University's Images from the Rare Book and Manuscript Collections on JSTOR features lots more related content, including prequels, video games, movie stills, the covers of Alan E. Nourse's original Blade Runner—which had nothing to do with Dick's novel!—and William S. Burroughs' Blade Runner: A Movie which is an adaptation of sorts of the Nourse novel.

Oh, and there are more than 11,000 additional images that have nothing at all to do with these movies or books! Dig in, the collection is free and open for everyone!

Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? – Philip K. Dick

6.2.2024

This is great, and reading alongside teaching some climate-crisis classes, I saw it through a lens that I perhaps hadn't when I first read it.

[stardusteyes]

Me: *reading through stories where dudes fall in love with robots* There's a metaphor for being gay in here somewhere, I just know it

[andreai04]

“Despair like that, about total reality, is self-perpetuating."

The silence of the world could not rein back its greed. Not any longer. Not when it had virtually won.

Empathy, evidently, existed only within the human community, whereas intelligence to some degree could be found throughout every phylum and order including the arachnida. For one thing, the empathic faculty probably required an unimpaired group instinct; a solitary organism, such as a spider, would have no use for it; in fact it would tend to abort a spider's ability to survive. It would make him conscious of the desire to live on the part of his prey.

Because, ultimately, the empathic gift blurred the boundaries between hunter and victim, between the successful and the defeated.

He thought, too, about his need for a real animal; within him an actual hatred once more manifested itself toward his electric sheep, which he had to tend, had to care about, as if it lived. The tyranny of an object, he thought. It doesn't know I exist. Like the androids, it had no ability to appreciate the existence of another.

Empathy toward an artificial construct? he asked himself. Something that only pretends to be alive?

“But when you get that depressed you don't care. Apathy, because you've lost a sense of worth. It doesn't matter whether you feel better, because if you have no worth—"

The old man said, "You will be required to do wrong no matter where you go. It is the basic condition of life, to be required to violate your own identity. At some time, every creature which lives must do so. It is the ultimate shadow, the defeat of creation; this is the curse at work, the curse that feeds on all life. Everywhere in the universe.”

[litandlifequotes]

You will be required to do wrong no matter where you go. It is the basic condition of life, to be required to violate your own identity. At some time, every creature which lives must do so. It is the ultimate shadow, the defeat of creation; this is the curse at work, the curse that feeds on all life. Everywhere in the universe.
