I'm not sure I like all that "Auto" business... Really frighten me, this story did, even gave me a nightmare! It's another great story set in the not-so distant future where mankind has become heavily dependent on digital stuff to the scary point where (ok I'm exaggerating, but only a teeny weeny bit) the auto would tell people what they want to watch on telly (ok not the best example, but you get the idea). A future that is unlikely to happen? I don't think so...What is great about this story, and about Relationship Status to the same extent, it's that David Wailing has taken the present, evolved it into a future that is rather plausible, added to it a little pinch of humour (and I still think there is a certain element of satire), and transformed the whole into an interesting and rather thought-provoking story. I really hope there are more stories to come. But for now, after reading all this, I think that the only auto I'll use is my "automobile"...
