Let me be the first to say that this level is mind-blowing with its narrative. Though I haven't read the original Isaac Asimov story, this brilliant retelling gives me great feelings of wonder and raises a number of interesting philosophical questions. I can't recommend this level enough - and I have a great urge to check out the original story as well. Good stuff!
