This was an outstanding but brief read. It made me sit in silence and reflect for a full hour. I highly recommend it to anyone willing to read it. It's important to take a moment to reflect on the meaning and point of this story. What I took from this story is just how it relates to our world today and how we often create these bubbles around ourselves that act as barriers, separating us from the realities occurring outside those bubbles.

I don't know how I really feel about this one. I've heard a lot about it but I didn't realize it was a short story instead of a novel before I started reading it. So I basically knew the whole story before reading it. I understand the value of the story and the reflections of the ethical questions involved, but I feel like the story just needed more depth. I would have been happy to read a whole book about it.
