Chapter 2

It's scary to me that dust killed the owls first because owls totally represent wisdom. I think that Phillip K. Dick is trying to symbolize the actual loss of wisdom from the human race and maybe also the loss of humans period. These "special" humans seem to be created by the dust too.
The empathy box is the scariest thing so far in this book. This kind of virtual reality is really interesting but seems so scary. Isidore is an old man in what I picture as a monk robe. WEIRD!
