The cat.rar
Frank had just read the book his friend had given him, in which It predicted a society dissatisfied with the advances in technology. Curious indeed, since what was written in the fiction book was exactly what happened in real life.
Technological advances connected people more and more, however, more and more people felt empty and alone inside.
"One moment please," said Frank as he listened to the doorbell of his apartment.
A drone delivering parcels brought him an order which It placed on the dining room table and then withdrew.
"In the lack of love, cat," said the man as he carefully opened the package.
A robotic cat that looked very real was inside the package.
Because in this time of loneliness a kitten is a little piece of heaven, a little piece of love.
"Where do you prefer to extract it?" he read the instructions.
"Here," he said, and the cat came to life and then purred as she was caressed.
"I'll call you: Athena."
The robot kitten was a faithful companion and drove away the loneliness in the heart of her human.
Maybe we don't need to be so connected, just have a cat.rar.
