Yes, you are correct. The narrator in "All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace" expresses a desire for man to live simply in nature with computers for his safeguard. The narrator envisions a world where humans coexist with computers and technology, but in a harmonious and balanced way, allowing them to live in a more natural and simplistic manner. This desire is conveyed through the poem's emphasis on the potential benefits of technology while advocating for a return to a more natural way of living.

Probably. Read it again to be sure.

Richard Brautigan's
All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace

I like to think (and
the sooner the better!)
of a cybernetic meadow
where mammals and computers
live together in mutually
programming harmony
like pure water
touching clear sky.

I like to think
(right now, please!)
of a cybernetic forest
filled with pines and electronics
where deer stroll peacefully
past computers
as if they were flowers
with spinning blossoms.

I like to think
(it has to be!)
of a cybernetic ecology
where we are free of our labors
and joined back to nature,
returned to our mammal
brothers and sisters,
and all watched over
by machines of loving grace.

A or B or D. You need to decide!

Read the poem again 2 or 3 times. Read it aloud to someone.

Then read each answer choice very carefully. Which one has ALL the elements named in the poem? Which ones don’t have all?
