If Andrew Martin’s fight for legal recognition—his emancipation in court, his artistry in woodcarving, and his final choice to accept mortality in order to be declared human—stuck with you, you’ll love how Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? probes the same questions from the opposite side. As bounty hunter Rick Deckard weighs the worth of near-human androids, the novel keeps asking the Andrew-style question: when empathy, memory, and desire look human, who gets to draw the line?

You watched Andrew evolve—from a household robot cherished by Little Miss to an artist and, finally, someone who chooses mortality to claim personhood. In The Speed of Dark, Lou Arrendale faces a life-altering procedure that could change how he thinks and who he is. Like Andrew’s deliberate steps toward humanity, Lou’s decision is intimate, courageous, and transformative, turning a personal journey into a profound redefinition of self.

If what gripped you was the societal lens—Andrew’s courtroom battles, contractual status, and the way his relationships with Little Miss and Portia shift the culture around him—The Lifecycle of Software Objects takes that same humane, policy-and-people focus to AIs raised like children. As trainers fight for their digients’ rights and welfare, you’ll recognize the heart of The Bicentennial Man: dignity earned through care, craft, and time.

Andrew’s story is intimate despite spanning centuries—his bond with Little Miss, the quiet triumph of being manumitted, and the final, tender scene where he chooses mortality for recognition. Never Let Me Go mirrors that hush: Kathy, Ruth, and Tommy live out ordinary moments under an extraordinary ethical shadow. Like Andrew’s last act before the World Congress, the book’s quiet revelations make the question of value unbearably personal.

If Andrew’s relationships—being raised in the Martins’ home, the lifelong affection of Little Miss, and the later love and acceptance he finds with Portia—gave you that lump-in-the-throat payoff, The Mad Scientist’s Daughter delivers a similarly poignant arc. The bond between Cat and the android Finn deepens over years, echoing Andrew’s patient pursuit of recognition and love, and crescendos into a bittersweet, humanizing resolution.
