Step back and look at what the story is really saying — some people are created inferior to other people. But what is really insidious about the story is the concept that if you bow to the right authority (the “Architect”) , you too can be granted the right to dominate, mind-control, torture, and murder people even though you were once just as valueless as them. Maybe even with complete commitment to the “Architect” , you might even become a real person. It reminded me of that episode in Boondocks when Uncle Ruckus met Ronald Reagan in heaven and finally became a real person.
