The book wasn't really about 'most people', though, Martin. That was the backdrop. The story was about the singular 'others' who were still driven by special human qualities like the spirit of adventure and risk-taking and freedom of ideas and emotions. As in all good books, the hero represents our own, often unfulfilled, need for liberty and for happiness ... on our own terms. The automaton society was, to these 'others', a waking nightmare. Best wished. Neil
