Blade runner. Much better than “Do androids dream of electric sheep?” but it is only loosely based off it.
PS: when reading a book after watching a film, it usually feels like the book is much better, fills in details, separates scenes which a film had mixed together or altogether done away with. E.g. The Shining, LotR, Dune…but for Androids I just felt “what, that’s it?”
The truth of the matter is that a lot of PKD and Heinlien era sci-fi was very focused on exploring a single theme - that works well literary but isn’t rich enough for TV/Movie - so those works generally got richer and usually were by transitioned by genuine fans that tried to keep the theme and core message.

They’re almost too different to compare imo, but both the book and the movie are top-tier.
I dunno if you can still find it, but I remember there being a Blade runner TTRPG in the FASA catalog in the '90s
