Can the medical procedures used to create artificial intelligence really correct nature's 'mistakes', or do they merely mask them until the subjects of experiment - in this case, Algernon the mouse and Charlie the little boy/man - inevitability return to their original state.Not a happy book, but thought-provoking. It made me ask: what is normal, what is perfection, and what is happiness - and does one depend on the other? What are the emotional, mental, spiritual, and physical consequences of trying to correct nature's imperfect design?
This one will leave you with sad unease, to say the least. I did not enjoy reading this author's perspective - it was almost unholy, showing science and intellect at its worst and removing any thread of hope or enlightenment.
