And I said I didn’t know, I didn’t know how I’d feel about it if I were a chipmunk. And they all told me I *did* know, and got mad at me. --Ahahaha, this really made me laugh. AMAEBI YOU'RE NOT PLAYING THE GAME RIGHT!! THE WAY WE PLAY IS WE ALL TALK ABOUT HOW MUCH RICHER OUR LIVES ARE THAN CHIPMUNK LIVES, GOSH!!
Ranking and rating things can be a fun game, but it's not a necessity! Like, you can enjoy buttercups, apple blossoms, peonies, and forget-me-nots without needing to rank them!
Regarding the author, I don't know at all. Within the story, the models for successful union and communitarianism, at least for humans, all seem to involved union with machines as well. I have nothing against that as a plot element, but philosophically, I find it odd, since there's plenty of communitarianism among humans today. But it may be that he wanted to imagine something good about human-machine relations. From his bio, it seems he's lived and worked in many places around the world (e.g., Vietnam, Turkey).
