I've read a lot of SciFi in my time, and I have to say this is a great read. You have a skill in creating an interesting and plausible backstory which goes a long way in to helping to weave the story elements together. By the end I found myself wanting to know more about the characters, the floaters, the technologically regressive society they found themselves in. Good stuff ;)
Yes, the machines were important characters. I didn't want them to be scary - just misunderstood - except by those who knew how to talk to them. I was also trying to create something nostalgic and romantic. I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for taking time out to comment.
Really liked reading this. Great job creating a sense of history, and I especially like how the Floaters and other machines are made to be just as important as the human characters.
