It 'stands out' for it's dystopian naivete.

'Work' is an essential ingredient in the continued creation (and improvement) of the machine form which we develop our standard of living.

While we can strive for 'free as in liberty' - nothing material in this universe is 'free as in beer' - we still must make do with 'work' - which means an intelligent and conscientious choice to do it.

We actually are 'free as in liberty' to chose to live in material poverty, or to make the effort to improve our condition.

Let us radically simplify:

1) Your household will become 'messy' as you live in it. 2) Nobody is going to 'clean it' but you. 3) 'Cleaning' is 'work'.

So you can chose to A) live in an ever dirtier and dysfunctional household or B) clean it (i.e. work) and enjoy the fruits of your labour.

In other words, there is basically no 'magical cleaning robot, that doesn't require fuel or maintenance'.
