Super nice read, surprisingly very different from the movies. Smooth to read, interesting throughout the book.

This book is so nearly a timeless classic. The questions of identity, immigration, and reality are all there trying to burst forth, the issue is the author wrote this in the 60s and you can tell. The book is at its best when Deckard is a loser but there are moments where he becomes a stereotypical “cool guy” from the period and those moments undercut everything happening.
