If you're just joining the blog, please read the earlier posting explaining how to read critically and write a response. Here are questions you might consider pondering in your posting for Chapter 1:
1. What might be the significance of the epigraph?
2. What is the Penfield mood organ? Consider techniques we use in the 21st century to alter our mood.
3. Describe the characters of Rick Deckard and his wife, Iran. Describe their relationship. What do you predict will become of them?
4. What is the setting? Is the setting believable? Why or why not?
5. Why do people wear lead codpieces?
7. What has happened that has lead to the present state (half empty apartment buildings, mass emigration from Earth, fallout/dust)?
8. What is a "regular"? What is a "special"? What do you make of a society that makes such distinctions?
9. Why do you think animals are so important in this future society?
10. What do you think Mercerism might be?
11. What does it mean to be human? List as many qualities as you can think of that distinguish us from animals and/or machines.
