May we have a discussion about The Metamorphosis, gentlemen? What's your interpretation of it?

Reading it I've found myself identified with the protagonist. I have a job now, but I've been a NEET during several years. Back then, I spent most of my time in my room, on the bed or the computer, I used to eat on it, I was losing touch with friends and even family that lived in my house: my brothers, my parents. Sometimes I was completely detached from my social, human side and felt like I was just an extension of the keyboard and mouse. Maybe Kafka was NEET at some point of his life and felt this way too, except he read and wrote instead of using a computer.
