![]() He serves only one and later two (three for a short period of time with a steward) passengers and devoted all his time to the restricted circle of the clients, thus deepening his attitude. That you forget how to make the most of where you are.Īrthur gives a mere credit to the thoughts on his own purpose of existence, yet in a wider sense he ‘lives’ exactly according to his proclaimed wisdom.

The cybernetic existence of Arthur is now enriched with dialogues on the purpose of human life, an inevitability of death, the complexity of a ‘right’ choice and predestination.
