Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
question
Could everyone just unknowingly be a Nexus-7, deleting and junking all previous obsolete models?

It seems to me, that Phillip harps on fallout a lot in this books, but people also seem to still live to a ripe old age. I feel like the human race was wiped out during the war, and then androids started self replicating. The newest model could be the Nexus-7 and the eradication and deportation of the previous models could be an evolutionary programming that allows them to think (with implanted memory) that they are more human than the previous model. Mars is a junk planet, where all of the other models are sent, that's why it's in such squalor, and that there's a factory there is just an elaborate lie. The Nexus-7 model is the closest to having empathy, and is allowed to fuse their empathy and regenerate feelings of empathy like a battery by using the empathy boxes to connect with Mercer.

Tee-hee, is that guy serious? Or did he just overdose on Galouye? :D
That's an interesting idea. Have you ever contemplated the possibility that we're living in a computer simulation? Check out http://www.simulation-argument.com/.
I like your theory Jeremy. I was thinking something along those lines.
Perhaps the Mercer program is the real world and everyone in Decker's world is a simulation created by Mercer. Mercer is revered almost to the point of worship, after all.
I admit to wondering a few times if I was a Nexus-7, but I don't think everyone in the book was. I do think Decker was. Shrug.
