-- This is what I liked about it, though: the idea that human happiness and satisfaction was something that could be achieved literally after eons of sitting and waiting patiently, although the human lifespan was not able to wait that long. Then - that human desire and longing could be so easily satisfied with smoke and mirrors...it was just terribly, terribly sad, but kind of made sense at the same time. The robots with the artificial emotions that spent so much energy trying to mimic the human condition spotlighted the banality of it all. Loved it! Reuben
