Sales Pitch

This story connects to our class definition of science fiction because it includes futuristic details that are based off of science and are potentially possible. The story also uses a lot of techno babble, which is a characteristic of science fiction. You need to be able to understand this talk to understand the story. Lastly, the story includes solutions based off of science, showing it is a piece of science fiction.

The story contains many extrapolations, or references to unreal, but possible things. The biggest extrapolation I found in the story was robots. Also, there were gadgets and new technologies that were common in the society. A final extrapolation was the intelligence of the technology, and the conversational voices.

I enjoyed this story because it is different than the stories we have read so far because it involves a different side, more fearful side of science fiction.
