Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep Vol. 4

Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep Vol. 4 by Philip K. Dick  144 pp.

In this installment, Rick Deckard administers the empathy test to bounty hunter Phil Resch so they can both find out if he is an android. Isidore, the "chickenhead" continues his infatuation with the newcomer to his derelict building, Pris. He brings her food and while at her apartment two of her friends arrive. They have a discussion of how the bounty hunters have killed the rest of their group of android escapees from Mars. They make plans to protect themselves. Deckard takes the bounties he received for his last kills and uses it for a down payment on a real live goat.

This volume also contains articles by three other authors about how Dick's writing influenced them.
