A very quick but meaningful read. The humanoids are definitely a metaphor for the lowely worker, while the humans the people that actually enjoy living to work.

I especially liked the chapter talking about the people that blended in with the ship immediately while they felt out of place, and the chapter where they questioned why people are even still talking to them since it will all be information used against them anyway.

Everything wrong with corporate life. A+ retrospective, just depressing to look directly at, even for this short amount of time.

More like a 4.5 stars. I really enjoyed this and I liked the way everyone's statements remained anonymous so there were no clear characters to root for. It made it easier to consider every perspective in this.
