Which goes to show that beginning with unproven generalizations is usually a bad idea.<BR/><BR/>Your thesis - or what I see as your thesis - makes no sense to me. "I would say technology is definitely representative of the novel in a tremendous way." What is it representative *of*? I simply don't understand what this means.<BR/><BR/>The rest of the material here - about the relative lack of importance of technology in the world of the novel - is deeply flawed because you ignore the importance of the *androids*, not to mention the mood organ, electrical animals, etc. This simply isn't a carefully made argument.<BR/><BR/>Overall: no clear thesis, and when you do develop an argument in the second paragraph, it's deeply flawed.Adam Johnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11588769281227456640noreply@blogger.com
