In this episode of the book club we talk about Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep by Philip K Dick - inspiration for the movie Blade Runner. Scott and Steve discuss the major themes of the book, including empathy, emotions and humanity. Despite feeling relatively lukewarm about the book it raises a number of interesting questions. Be sure to pick up the next book club suggest, 'Horns' by Joe Hill.

The Dresden Files
In this special episode while Scott is away, Steve is joined by a guest co-host, Stacey Whittle from the podcast Small Press, Big Mouth. Both Stacey and Steve are enormous fans of the Dresden Files novels by Jim Butcher. Just ahead of the release of latest book in the series, Ghost Story, they look back across the series talking about favourite moments, characters, events and how its main character, Harry Dresden, and the series have evolved. This episode has a lot of spoilers about the series to date. We also discuss some other urban fantasy series towards the end and make a few recommendations.
