Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep Cliff Notes

The Road, the most recent novel by American literary giant Cormac McCarthy, is one of the most successful novels of the past year. It has received one of the greatest literary honors (the Pulitzer Prize), as well as one of the greatest pop cultural honors (induction into Oprah’s book club) available to a work of fiction. But more than being among the most highly regarded novels of 2006, The Road is also among the most frightening. It is, in many regards, a 21st century horror story.

The World Of The Road

The burnt out, post-apocalyptic landscape McCarthy paints is, in itself, nothing particularly new. Numerous post-World War II works center on worldwide destruction, particularly that of a nuclear nature. Kurt Vonnegut explored this with irony and humor, allowing the post Ice-Nine world of Cats Cradle to be oddly comforting. Philip K. Dick’s ash strewn wasteland in Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? is an obvious influence on McCarthy’s piece, but even so it has a tamer quality, there is still some humanity left to hold onto.
