Do robots dream about electronic sheep?

Can robots dream of electronic sheep? This novel is set in the future world after the nuclear war. The main story is not in Los Angeles, but in San Francisco. After the nuclear war, a large number of human beings immigrated to Mars, some voluntarily, some coaxed by the government, because the earth is seriously polluted, which is no longer particularly suitable for human habitation.

Most animals became extinct, and some humans became mutants and were slandered as mentally retarded. They are not allowed to immigrate to Mars, and it is difficult to find a job.

In order to encourage people to emigrate to Mars, the government has vigorously developed robot technology to provide high-performance robots for people who colonized Mars.

Few people stay on the earth.

However, robots on Mars yearn for a free life on Earth. So there are robots sneaking back to earth. Even if they are killed by the police in a short time, they will always enjoy a short period of freedom.

Due to the extinction of animals, people are proud to buy rare animals and keep them at home. Even sheep have become a rare commodity in life, and it is difficult to find a daughter. People who have no money only need to buy a cheap electronic sheep and keep an electronic cat at home.

In addition, there are two forces vying for control of people's minds. One is a TV station that hosts programs 24 hours a day and constantly brings news and entertainment to the public, and the other is a religious emotion controller. The use of the latter is strange, somewhat similar to personality fusion.

The mutant protagonist in the novel has an interesting point of view. He believes that the greatest enemy of mankind is garbage, and garbage will destroy mankind sooner or later.

Finally, spoiler, the biggest difference between the end of the novel and the end of movies and games is that the protagonist policeman is not a robot or a clone.
