You Have Arrived at Your Destination by Amor Towles

4.0

---

You Have Arrived at Your Destination is my forth read from the Forward Collection and one that so far I related to the most as a father of a 4 year old. It's brings up the question of how much a persons characteristics are formed by either Nature or Nurture. I like this concept Towles forces me to contemplate as I read along and it's definitely something I could see happening in our current world as technology advances. I also found myself contemplating the concept of free-will vs determinism and can't help but wonder with how much we rely on technology today that over time, we may start to lose our own free will.

Every single one of these stories so far are packed with through provoking concepts regarding technology in such a short read.
