Review by: Anke Wehner on July 14, 2011 : (no rating)
Aliens talk about how special humans are. An old woman uses VR to sit in a nursing home. Technological advancements destroyed civilisation.

Each of these stories comes across to me as primarily written to convey a certain message or moral. I'd recommend people who do not like "interpreting" texts stay away.
