This story is very different from anything I have ever read. WOW. But many things were a bit confusing. First off, wow a crazy world war filled with nuclear damage. It wiped out a lot of animals, humans but some humans did survive, just had serious brain damage. They were referred to as "special". So I don't know if I missed the explanation or just didn't understand but then how did android people and animals come about? Was it because there wasn't a lot of people left after the war. And why did these androids look and claim to be people that were alive before? Or did the nuclear war turn people into androids?
Another thought running through my head is why does Rick want to find all the androids and kill them off. I don't see any harm. But, he has animal androids himself because they are cheaper. I find that to be a bit weird. But I find it cool that they test if you're an android or not by the empathy test and bone marrow test. This story is filled with cool and futuristic aspects and pull you in and grab your attention. It has you wonder if life will be like this in the future. Will we experience this?
I agree that the androids were probably created in order to keep earth populated. I am also very confused at the fact that Rick wants to kill these androids. The only reason I could see him doing it is that the androids may actually be smarter than the humans and they are afraid that they may want to take over the world. In the story it also mentions that there are people living on Mars in this time. So there are more people on mars than on Earth.
ReplyDeleteThis is an interesting question concerning why Rick and other bounty hunters are paid to kill of androids. Let me ask you all a question: Why were androids created? What is their purpose(s)? Answer that question and I think you'll get a bit closer to the answer to your question.
