However, one upside is that now I want to go re-read [Player Piano](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Player_Piano_(novel)) by Kurt Vonegut
The first draft actually ended with this line: "Operating rooms without surgeons, computers without programmers, pianos without musicians." I took it out to make the reference less obvious, but after your message I added it back.
Each story I write includes a small tribute to a writer who's shaped the way I think, like Isaac Asimov or Kurt Vonnegut.
Thanks for reading!
