What gives you individuality? In the world depicted here it doesn't matter, because everyone is exactly the same. The human being has gotten rid of nuisances such as reading books, sleep, food and differences. It's an interesting idea about the future and there are some resemblances with the present. Nonetheless, I liked the story and the theory behind it.

I had a good time with this one! Spooky enough for this time of year but fun enough to not make me dread life.

Clever short story set in a future where everyone must undergo the “transformation”.
