read this for my literary translation class and, honestly, it's not as bad as i thought it would be.
moxon's monologue was a bit too long for my liking but i guess his philosophical points were lowkey convincing. and i think his opinions are still relevant today, especially with the rise of ai, but there's a couple of details that don't really make sense to melike how was the robot so well-developed if it was only made of wood and iron...? and when did haley get inside of the house? was he actually the robot...?
ultimately, i guess it's up to the reader to figure that cliffhanger out.
