Like Iona, I got a packet with only 'The Proud Robot' in it, so I think that I have missed something as well. Does anybody know if there was a second packet or if the packet was supposed to contain 'Microcosmic God'?
I thought that 'The Proud Robot' was the funniest piece that we have read so far. The character of Gallegher was pretty entertaining, and Brock's & Kennicott's attempts at communicating with him were funny. But I don't think that the story was very profound in the way it raised philosophical questions. Until I reached the end I kept on trying to find somthing by reading into it. Even when Joe started talking about the subconcious it seemed almost inconsiquential. So I'm not really sure what to think about it. The story was amusing, but in the end, to drawn out in the begining & middle, and it doesn't do much to explore the issues it raised.
