Sales Pitch
We read the Philip K. Dick story "Sales Pitch" (about the FASRAD robot) in class on Friday, September 16. If you have further comments about the story, please feel free to post them here.
I thought it was ironic how he was so happy to get away from the fasrad yet in the end it was the last thing that he heard before he died. I thought it was interesting how his view of a better life was one like how it is now, when things are simpler. It makes you think about how we are taking what we have for granted
i hope id never run into a fasrad.
ReplyDeletethe whole story was kind of depressing in a way, at the end. but great story
I thought it was interesting how the universe still had some of its same problems that it does now, like traffic problems and annoying ads.
