As much as it had many elements I love - robots, friendship, oddballs, metaphors for consumerism - it just didn't grab me, no matter how hard I tried.As our society becomes more automated and we rely on machinery for many everyday tasks it is only natural that the notion of what makes us human and what unites or separates us from machinery would be topical. Tej klaustrofobicznej atmosfery, którą stworzył autor, nie da się opisać – to trzeba samemu przeczytać. Similarly, the intense focus on visual descriptions and feelings contrast so effectively with the short and impactful descriptions of unimaginably terrifying events for a submariner.
