an interesting allegory/metaphor, and pretty great writing! I've never read anything by george saunders before, but I think I would again. If I were to change anything, there were just a few lines about how the ... creatures? humans? looked, that I would get rid of. They were just confusing to me, not helpful to the story overall.
