Organic Chemistry Tutor No- Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? (Viking Books) by Philip K. Dick

Organic Chemistry Tutor No- Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? (Viking Books) by Philip K. DickThe Organic Chemistry Tutor no2- Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? (Viking Books) by Philip K. Dick is a science fiction novel based in a future world where medical science has taken on new forms and is a very different place. The protagonist is an inbred genetically engineered man who is also a gifted scientist. Here is what I liked about the book:The neurosis: I liked how this science fiction novel had been written with such a severe neurosis and disorientation of the hero. Not only does he suffer from amnesia, he also suffers from amnesia for events that occurred before his birth. He also has the power to create, but has no idea how to properly do so. His symptoms are so severe that even colleagues have trouble understanding his mental state.The action: I loved the action scenes in the Organic Chemistry Tutor no2- Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? - The First Law of Robotics. All the action in this book takes place in a time-frame that happens sometime between 1997 and 2020. As far as the actual plot of the story is concerned, it is hard to imagine it not being very exciting. The character of the main character would also get too much attention in this book as well as the protagonist's entire surroundings.The whole backdrop of the story: This novel is based on the premise that genetic engineering is nothing but a set of scientific inventions that have already reached its limits of development. In fact, there are still a lot of questions to be asked by scientists and biotechnologists about the scope of genetic engineering.The characters: The Organic Chemistry Tutor no2- Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? - The First Law of Robotics has a number of interesting characters that I would liken to the ones from the best-selling books of Edgar Allan Poe or the protagonists of some more recent science fiction novels.The political commentary: The scenario of this n ovel is very futuristic and is very similar to the scenarios seen in other science fiction books like 'Red Mars'Time and Tide.' It is quite possible that the future that Philip K. Dick depicts may already be happening somewhere on earth. He makes a very interesting extrapolation of the social and political environment of a society where genetic engineering has reached its limit of application.The ultimate revelation: At the end of the Organic Chemistry Tutor no2- Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? - The First Law of Robotics, we are left with the question of what happened to the protagonist?Overall, The Organic Chemistry Tutor no2- Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? - The First Law of Robotics, which was written in the mid-80s, is not something that anyone should avoid reading. It is a very intriguing novel that delves into deep philosophical and scientific concepts of artificial life and genetic engineering.
