Just make sure you're looking up the correct title, "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep", is the actual book title (I guess you might already know this)

But with spelling like this, "aprisiate any help posible", should you really be cutting corners. :P (I kid!)

LOL! the Bible...

Prophecy doesnt necessarily have a religious connotation ... dont worry i dont have a PKD alter with joss sticks burning or anything. :)

think of how much PKD wrote about 30-40 years ago, some of the specific things he dreamed up then, they only exist today. moreover, the situations and conditions he envisioned - environmental, cultural, policital, etc. - we are getting closer to that. he wasnt trying to create the sterile environment, all-brand-new Star Wars-type sci fi. guess thats what i was getting at.
