Review: Android's Dream

The Android’s Dream by John Scalzi

Based on the name, I had expected this book to relate to the Philip Dick classic “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?” in plot. While there is a relation to that book. The relationship is very peripheral.

Scalzi is a really good story teller. The web he’s woven in this tale is quite amazing. The tight pacing in this story could work very well as a movie script.

I especially appreciate his version of a benign (even benevolent, but just as crazy) Church of Scientology analog in the book.

This book can be a great way to introduce someone to Scalzi’s style.
