ch 9

Rick takes a trip to the opera in order to hopefully catch Luba Luft. The way PKD described Rick scanning over her in the opera makes it seem as if he has feelings for this android. Even though i dont see how a person could take interest in an artificial being, im in no position to judge what weird things people are going to be doing in a hundred years. Who knows, maybe humans won't get along with eachother in the future and resort to having relationships with androids. When Rick approached her and started questioning her she seemed as if she already knew what was coming for her. She answered all the questions very indirectly and i think manipulated that knowledge with Ricks obvious attraction for her. She picked up too heavy of a "vibe" i guess and called the cops on Rick, claiming he was a pervert. Officer Crams comes in to take Rick away. If the androids work this hard to protect themselves from being either taken away or retired, then they know how precious freedom is and should cease to be slaves i think. The whole point of having and android is for it to be this emotionless machine that does what you say. When they start to develop feelings, its just not right to opress them.
