enjoyable short sci-fi story about *spoilers*

I've warned about spoilers on the title, so read at your peril, but this is a short sci-fi story.
Its not really about the robot but how mankind has all its priorities wrong.
Its not bad for 30 mins of your time... wish there was more to the story, tbh...

Lovely

Very atmospheric. Not super novel in concept but the natration and the way it's written make for a lovely way to spend half an hour.

Not noticeable

Listened to story felt it was waisted time given talent available from audio books this book seems to have slipped in to library but really wish l had not bothered .

If l had paid for it l would consider asking for money back
