... Can I compete
with it?", and the father has a generic answer "But I thought that's why we
bought this house". The parents in the story look upon their children's
needs as services instead of ways of expressing any love or care.
In the story we never learn anything about the children except for
their obsession with the nursery, "I don't want to do anything but look and
listen and smell; what else is there to do?". When the parents tell the
children the idea of shutting down the computerized house "for a vacation",
the children react shocked and stay with their one, single characteristic

... informs its members that 2+2=3 or 4 or all at the same time, then it
