    Philip K. Dicks novel, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, is the perfect example of going against what people perceive to be normal.

On the most basic level, Boxer and Parsons appear to be nearly identical characters. Even though the reader can recognize that the governments in each novel are horrendous and abusive dictatorships, neither Boxer nor Parsons realize how…
