Analysis Of The Last Library - 848 Words

A world where technology takes over, corrupting the minds of young, innocent people allowing it to cloud their judgment. In AK Benedict’s short story The Last Library, Benedict symbolizes a world where a society that fully relies on technology believes that by eliminating primary sources like novels and journals only leads to a society that will progress, which in reality is the complete opposite. Reflecting on this short story generates a different view of the world, it shapes the way things are seen and the way people interact.
