Document Summary
Quotables: dick"s short story frozen journey reflects the logic of conspiracy culture. He did not understand why the bee would attack its rescuer. He was perplexed and dismayed and he felt a hatred toward small living things, because they were dumb.

This presence is similar to the computer that seeks to maintain kemmings" sanity. The presence that the young boy senses represents the guilty conscience of a young child struggling to figure out moral problems.
