An interesting look into how people get obsessed with hobbies, this one just happens to sapient.

I enjoyed this, but at times it felt like more of an intellectual exercise than a proper story. But perhaps that's because none of the philosophical/intellectual thoughts in the story were new to me. I actually think I would have cared about the story a lot more if it were in some visual medium where I could see the digients.

Agreed some scenes, in particular the car ride, felt like they desperately needed a visual medium for maximum impact.

I wish the story went on for longer - I liked it.
