I wouldn't say this is my favorite story by Philip K. Dick (Minority Report, probably), but it was definitely entertaining. The picture he painted of a dying earth was well done. I could see well the struggle these people lived through.

To be honest, though, I'm still not sure of the message he was trying to get across. It started to look like a story on equal rights, comparing androids to subjugated classes of people within our society, but then he portrayed the androids themselves as inhuman and inferior. I don't think I got much out of the story besides the entertainment value.
