Chapter 9

This chapter really focuses on the ability to empathise, both in humans and in andy's. Rick finds Luba Luft rehearsing at the Opera for a role in Mozart's The Magic Flute and how captivated he finds himself with her abilities of vocal persuasion. Focusing on the androids ability to have/understand some human emotions and perhaps hold some sense of compassion? Deckard finds himself attracted, in a way, to this humanoid robot, Luba, and can't seem to shake it, which is why I think he let himself slip in the act of 'retiring' her.
We're also introduced to an android of 'power' who takes Rick, under arrest, to the "new Hall of Justice" leaving us to wonder the entire presence of humans to androids in the radiation-ridden new world.
