Dave Davies' six best books

Dave Davies was a founder member and lead guitarist of The Kinks.

One of his six best books, as shared at the Daily Express:
DO ANDROIDS DREAM OF ELECTRIC SHEEP? by Philip K. Dick

This was made into Bladerunner but the book elaborates more on the future world. It talks about artificial intelligence and touches on other similar themes I’m interested in.
Read about another entry on the list.

Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? also appears on Abhimanyu Das and Gordon Jackson's list of eleven science fiction books that are often taught in college, Robert Kroese's list of five science fiction novels about sheep, Ceridwen Christensen's list of eleven stories of love and robots, Ryan Britt's list of six of the best detectives from science fiction literature, Weston Williams's list of fifteen classic science fiction books, Allegra Frazier's list of four great dystopian novels that made it to the big screen, Ryan Menezes's list of five movies that improved the book, Amanda Yesilbas and Charlie Jane Anders's list of the twelve most unfaithful movie versions of science fiction and fantasy books, Katharine Trendacosta and Charlie Jane Anders's list of the ten greatest personality tests in sci-fi & fantasy, John Mullan's list of ten of the best titles in the form of questions, Charlie Jane Anders and Michael Ann Dobbs's list of ten classic sci-fi books that were originally considered failures and Robert Collins's top ten list of dystopian novels.
