Collins notes, that "in Pak Min-gyu’s devastating 'Road Kill,' robots clean the detritus of humans and animals killed along a super highway that forms the impenetrable barrier encircling a refugee zone. Here, robots bear witness to the inestimable cruelty of humans towards others they find expendable" (p. 61). Collins implies interesting similarities and contrasts with the stories "Readymade Bodhisattva" and "Along the Fragments of My Body," which see.
