I enjoy science fiction works, and some detective stories. Mostly short stories, and mostly works that have entered into the public domain. Don't have a lot of time to read which I'm hoping will change in this new year.

Interesting short story. I kind of get "The 13th Floor" vibes, at least at the start of the story - it does sound like the author is trying to describe virtual reality that everyone lives in. But near the end of the story, I kind of a get a anti-urban theme (or maybe I read it wrong). At any rate it's a good read, shouldn't take anyone that has 20 minutes free to read.....unfortunately that isn't me any more, I have to read in 5 to 7 minute chunks.

More machine then I expected, but very much like some of the 1950s sci-fi/horor movies, where the brain becomes more powerful once removed from the body.

I felt like I had read this short story before - looking back at my history I found out. Yes I have read it. It's a very short story, worth reading if you have a few free minutes.

Not a hard story to read. I just don't have a whole lot of time lately to read, so it takes a while to even get done with the simple stories.
