The ideas and lesson that you pulled out of this story were much different than mine you picked up a lot more. I agree that change is inevitable and there was nothing that he could do about it. He was lost in this new, weird, advanced world with no one but himself until he found his daughter. The only question that I had to ask myself is what do you mean by his attitude being Neutral? It appeared that he really enjoyed life other than his home life with his nagging wife he was just laid back and accepted life as it came.
