Throughout the novel “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?” By Philip K. Dick, there are many tropes that are used. The type of trope that I will be exploring is a theme or device that is reoccuring which is used commonly in dystopian novels. One trope that I will be exploring in this novel is the effect of a catastrophic war that has shaped society on Earth forever. The war that shaped society is called “World War Terminus”. This war in particular, changed society drastically in the novel.
