I enjoyed this.
In saying that, I wish there was more world building since it was a little light on it. Is there a reason why Clara uses trains/buses when in a futuristic setting? It kinda felt like present day, but there's also robots and "raises" (non-AI, usually animal shaped), but no other seemingly meaningful differences in a technically advanced reality.
I also would have loved a bit more depth to the characters.
