This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th Century American science-fiction short story writer and novelist, Philip K. Dick's novel Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep
It focuses specifically on the emotional attitudes and responses that various characters in the novel have or develop towards androids. Androids lack the capacity for empathy and therefore do not exhibit it towards each other. Rick Decker find himself feeling empathy towards at least some androids.
