Sarah E. Seeley's "Driveless"...A Compelling Little Story

Today I read a story from Sarah Seeley entitled, Driveless. You can pick it up from Amazon: HERE. It's a great little story.

Driveless takes place in a world where self-driving cars are commonplace. So, what can go wrong with cars that drive themselves?

You can probably guess.

It's amazing that we live in a world where such technology is possible. It's also amazing how trusting we are of this technology. Past generations envisioned horrors when mankind relinquished control to such powerful machines. I wonder why we see things differently. Is it because we think we have control over the computers, the drones, the self-driving cars? Do we follow a flawed assumption that these things would in no way harm us?

Driveless centers around Howard, his infant daughter, and his new self-driving Prius. Soon Howard finds himself powerless to control his car, then things really go bad. Howard then must do all he can to rescue his daughter from the technology that's supposed to make life better, not put life in danger.

Short stories are the YouTube of the literary world. You would think they'd be more popular--and maybe they are. I haven't done any research to say one way or the other. I do know I liked this story and I'd read more of her's in a heartbeat.

If you've got a few minutes and you'd like to read a story that's timely and engaging, give Driveless a go. It's a great little story.
