Sati Marie Frost’s Reviews > Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? > Status Update

Depression, possession, and depersonalisation. Three different things, with similar outcome: a lack of sincerity and authenticity, as though something is speaking through you. It’s taken me until 76% to figure out that’s what bugs me about this book. Whether characters are depressed humans, knowing androids, or androids who believe they are human, all think they are being sincere - and none are convincing.

This is difficult to enjoy because Deckhard is such an asshole.

This is an interesting book, but I don’t understand it. Perhaps I am too autistic. I think I would be just as happy with electric animals and androids as I would with natural ones, and I can’t empathise with Deckard’s or Iran’s depression surrounding this. Maybe because I’ve always felt, and been told, that I’m not human.
