Rachael is down to two years of life and Rick would marry her (197 Philip K. Dick)


The feelings that Rick is experiencing during his time with androids, specifically Rachael Rosen, create chaos in the way he thinks and cause a peculiar change in the perspective of life and create a question of whether it is morally right or wrong to have a formal relationship with an android. The length of an android's life is also a topic that is put to the test in moral judgment. Philip K. Dick explores Rick's identity through examples that are shocking at first but in the long run are relevant since technology advances fast in this society.
