Residue of an Especially Poor Vintage
A Dreampunk Novel
Residue of an Especially Poor Vintage plays on the title, rather than the premise, of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep by Philip K. Dick.
Where PKD focused on the nature of humanity among the blurred lines between natural and artificial life, Residue drops a literal giant sleeping robot into a small town and allows its dreams to run amuck.
Turns out, androids really do dream of electric sheep. Luckily, Middleton is defended by a paranormal investigator, a spray-paint prophet, and an invisible cop.
