10. Opinion, exclamation mark.

Well, it certainly seems that The Darfsteller didn't win the Hugo Award for nothing. The concept is great, the writing is fantastic, the plot is amazingly interesting.

Quite a possible future as well. As everything will start to get robotized, the social layers will be separated more and more, while some will profit from the situation, most of the people won't even be able to get a proper job.

How far should we advance technology? How far do we have to advance ourselves before that? This story, from my point of view, is bringing attention to these questions.

Well, let's see where it's going, since I have certain belief the true ideas and points of the story are yet to be revealed.

Still, it's fun to read. I like this sort of sci-fi no less than something like The Hitchhiker's Guide. Also, I love Isaac Asimov's works and I doubt he'd include something below the level of complete total awesomeness into the collection.
