À propos de cet audio
By 2021, the World War has killed millions, driving entire species into extinction and sending mankind off-planet. Those who remain covet any living creature, and for people who can’t afford one, companies build incredibly realistic simulacra: horses, birds, cats, sheep. They’ve even built humans. Immigrants to Mars receive androids so sophisticated they are indistinguishable from true men or women. Fearful of the havoc these artificial humans can wreak, the government bans them from Earth. Driven into hiding, unauthorized androids live among human beings, undetected. Rick Deckard, an officially sanctioned bounty hunter, is commissioned to find rogue androids and “retire” them. But when cornered, androids fight back—with lethal force.

Stranger in a Strange Land is the epic saga of an earthling, Valentine Michael Smith, born and educated on Mars, who arrives on our planet with “psi” powers—telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition, telekinesis, teleportation, pyrolysis, and the ability to take control of the minds of others—and complete innocence regarding the mores of man. After his tutelage under a surrogate father figure, Valentine begins his transformation into a kind of messiah.

Neal Stephenson is a blazing new force on the sci-fi scene. With the groundbreaking cyberpunk novel Snow Crash, he has "vaulted onto the literary stage." It weaves virtual reality, Sumerian myth, and just about everything in between with a cool, hip cybersensibility - in short, it is the gigathriller of the information age.

Better than the novel
Un problème est survenu. Veuillez réessayer dans quelques minutes.
The subplots involving Isidore and his religion (called “Mercerism”) were just plain strange and baffling to me.
If Philip K. Dick we’re trying to make some statement about religion, it was lost on me, like tears in rain.
Final thoughts: if you’re a diehard fan of Blade Runner (the franchise), P.K. Dick, or science fiction literature, it is a must-read, but to the casual listener, it may be a little off-putting.
Weird book, man.

The author very skillfully walks the reader up to the question of whether a completely human-like machine is a person, or not. It explores each of the various possibilities and questions with different scenarios that you come back to after reading, and think about, and each approaches the core question from a different angle.
Very thought provoking

What's interesting about DADoES is it's a film noire story more than it is a science fiction novel. The science fiction elements are a thematic flare that adds to its story. What I was surprised to see was it had a series of nuanced religious themes as well, similar to Dick's other novel Ubik. The story is fundamentally about how to derive meaning in a world where everything is fake and artificial. He really nails the execution of this nicely and much like Ubik it keeps you pondering its characters and world long after the story has concluded.
The performance is also really good especially how the voice over clearly distinguishes its two narrators Rick Deckard and John Isidore. It really makes the dual narration stand out really nicely. I really recommend listening to this book a lot because of it.
Overall if you liked the film, I am almost certain you'll like the book as well. It delivers a similar albeit fundamentally different story that gives you a new experience.
Mythical
