Question 8 held with it the most importance to me, because it is a reacuring theme that Philip K. Dick chooses to work with. In this futuristic society it seems to further perpetuate the same problems that we have in todays society. PKD was writing in the 1960's, and with all its racial problems and classist systems, he forcasts a dust cloud that creates a "sub group of humans" and makes way for electric animals, and identical human replicas. is PKD simply comenting on the norm in human societies?
It seems in this chapter Philip explains the differences between "specials" and "Normal humans". Specials are sub group of people who inhabit earth, and as a result of the post war apocolyptic surroundings have developed differently from their other human counterparts, which has made a devide into two different groups of humans.
