Player Piano - Review

I did not like reading this book compared to the others we have read. The idea of technology taking over society is a very popular basis for stories, but this book shows its effects on people's lives and how it will cause people to loose their identity as individuals. Machines taking over is always and interesting story, but reading numerous books on how people lose purpose in their lives makes it less enjoyable. I also would have hoped for a better ending to the story that is not so unclear. I did find it interesting though how the more technology improves in the story, the less jobs for people there are. Even today this is true because people are finding more efficient ways of doing things.
