I would choose the book, I feel it has more substance and even ages better

Movie. The book has that 50s feel and is kind of dated. The movie holds up well.
Book. I just did not like the movie.
What version of the film though? Theatrical cut, director's cut, the final cut? That is a whole other discussion, I guess. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Version...
Blade Runner is one of the best movies ever. However, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep really does a great job wherein he androids impersonate the police and he's confused about what reality is. (i know i don't have all the details right, but i think that this is the gist of it.)
Definitely the book. There is just so much more there. Blade Runner is fun, DADOES is great.

I like both. But if forced to choose. I'd go for the Director's Cut movie version.
