The themes in the story are good, but are very generic and unoriginal. This is another one of those "technology=bad" stories. I feel as though I would have preferred something more like Wall-E. That is another story about technology, but it gives a theme that is much more in line with the reality. Technology is not just "bad". Addiction to technology is bad. Overall, the story is a good read, but the theme was a bit of a let-down for me. 2/5 stars.
