I love this story, Ken, as it provides so much food for thought:

1. The premise - The very idea that computers that were built by man to serve them could actually cause their destruction is scary in itself.

2. The outcome - Shows us that man is not top of the food chain, as many would like to believe, but instead an integral part its cycle, which is scarier still.

I enjoyed the short story quite a bit. I think it reflects well the current state of the world, where innovation is something many lust for, but we innovate faster than we think. John underestimated how dangerous his invention was, he wasn't prepared for the consequences of what getting it out into the world would be, he only wanted to get it out there.
