can you suggest any good ones?

book? obviously, Do Androids dream of Electric Sheep.

the movie version (Blade runner) is nothing compared to the concepts explored in the book about the nature of AI. The new Blade runner is even worse than the old one.

Time out of Joint, another good book, which serves as a precursor to Man in High Castle, but has a much more enjoyable plot.

Moon is a Harsh Mistress, even better than Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep.

Its libertarian propaganda, but much more sensible than Ayn Rand's books. Anyway Blade Runner and Moon ... are two completely different books. Why would you compare them?

I love Moon is a harsh mistress, btw. Its one of Heinlein's best books where he recognizes the limitations of libertarianism (he still doesn't acknowledge the origins of libertarianism as a socialist philosophy) , but Androids ... delves into the question of what it means to be human, and Heinlein's book is about political philosophy.

nenu choosa but tbh naku ee serial motive endo ardham kaale... it was gripping in a way but I dont think I understood the whole essence of the story

don't know about the TV show, but the book's essence was that reality is subjective. That the alternative reality that Dick created was essentially almost similar to the current reality.

Not comparing them, but referencing this as well as one of the books that needs to be read.
