From a bilingual annotated reading list, Out of This World: Canadian Science Fiction and Fantasy, from the National Library of Canada:
The news from D Street is bad. This is a place where people are deleted at the touch of a button, where a bus ("the exit mechanism") changes the social mix and where people are quickly forgotten. This chilling story of the possible dehumanizing effects of technology is the first in a varied collection focusing on an omnipresent technological world. (p. 4)
