After Rachael kills Leon, Deckard buys a bottle of Tsing Tao and has to warn her with a glance when Gaff approaches.

Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?

	''Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?'' takes place in 1992 (2021 in more recent editions of the novel), several years after the fallout resulting from "World War Terminus" decimated much of Earth. In the aftermath, the United Nations encourages people to emigrate to [[off-world]] colonies to preserve the human race from the effects of the radioactive dust. One incentive is that each emigrating family will receive a custom-built [[android]] servant (derogatively referred to as an "andy."). <sup>[[#Footnote\|1]]</sup>		''Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?'' takes place in 1992 (2021 in more recent editions of the novel), several years after the fallout resulting from "World War Terminus" decimated much of Earth.

-	The people who remain on [[Earth]] live in cluttered cities where radiation poisoning causes significant illness and gene damage. All animals are endangered. Owning and caring for an [[animal]] is considered a civic virtue and a status symbol, depending on the rarity of the species. Animals are bought and sold according to the price of the latest ''Sidney's Catalog'', extinct animals are listed at the price of the last example sold. Some people who cannot afford an animal choose to buy an artificial, robotic animal to maintain social standing. The protagonist Rick Deckard owned a sheep, which died of [[tetanus]] and was replaced by an electric replica to maintain the illusion of animal ownership.	+	The people who remain on [[Earth]] live in cluttered cities where radiation poisoning causes significant illness and gene damage.

-	Androids are only used on the colony planet of [[Mars]], but many escape to Earth to escape the isolation and to be free of slavery to humans. They are made entirely of [[organic]] components and are physically indistinguishable from humans. Bounty hunters, such as Deckard, track down and "[[retire]]" fugitive androids posing as humans. A bone marrow test is performed on the body of each retired android to confirm that it is not a human who has been killed. Due to differences in the [[vagus]] nerve, an android can commit suicide by holding its breath. Bounty hunters are required to apply tests such as the [[Voight-Kampff machine]] empathy test to differentiate humans from androids. The test measures brain activity and eye movement in response to emotional triggers, most of which involve harm to animals. Because androids cannot feel [[empathy]], their response is categorically different from those of human beings. The simpler [[Boneli]] test measures the speed of the reflex-arc response which takes place in the upper ganglia of the spinal column.	+	Androids are only used on the colony planet of [[Mars]], but many escape to Earth to escape the isolation and to be free of slavery to humans.

	[[Mercerism]] is a prominent religious/philosophical movement on Earth. The movement is based on the fable of [[Wilbur Mercer]], a man who lived before the war. Adherents of Mercerism grip the handles of an electrically powered [[empathy box]], while viewing a monitor which displays patterns that are meaningless until the handles are gripped. After a short interval the user's senses are transported to the world of Wilbur Mercer, where they inhabit his mind in an experience shared with any other people using an empathy box at that moment. Mercerism blends the concept of a life-death-rebirth deity with the values of unity and empathy. According to legend, Mercer had the power to revive dead animals, but local officials used radioactive cobalt to nullify the part of his brain where the ability originated. This forced Mercer into the "tomb world." He strives to reverse the decay of the tomb world and ascend back to Earth by climbing an enormous hill. His adversaries throw rocks at him along the way, until Mercer reaches the top, when the cycle starts again.		[[Mercerism]] is a prominent religious/philosophical movement on Earth.
