This summer, incoming freshman and upperclass transfer students weren’t the only ones following the dystopian adventures of android bounty hunters. In addition to students, many other Ithaca residents were also immersed in “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep,” this year’s New Student Reading Project and Ithaca Community Read selection. 

Out of 50 shortlisted titles that members of the Cornell community suggested, Philip K. Dick’s science fiction novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep emerged as the selection for the New Student Reading Project of 2010.
