Those who remain covet any living creature, and for people who can t afford one, companies built 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.
