Abstract	Philip K. Dick is an American science fiction writer known for his ability to subtly critique the defects in the socio-political schema and its consequences on society. Especially in his post-world war narratives he has simulated a picture of a devastated real world and highlighted various issues which include the ones that have gained prominence in our times: displacements, migrations, and dislocations that impact humans by contributing to their heightened levels of alienation and anxiety. The present essay studies the fate of androids in Dick’s 1968 novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? to show how it is like that of Refugees/migrants of our world, which helps to understand the impact of displacement and dislocation on their inner and outer worlds and their deep human resonances which triggers the core conflict of the novel.
Keywords	Androids/humanoids, Oppression, Psyche, Survival, Empathy.
