   its been nearly 10 years since i last read 'do androids dream of   
   electric sheep' but i seem to recall that the novel was significantly   
   different to the film, and therefore although the movie was CP the book   
   might not have been. IIRC the protagonist was quite CP, but the setting   
   wasn't.   
      
   ..but like i said, its been a while since i read the book. perhaps   
   someone who has read it lately can shed some light......
