I believe now it's a very good time to reread the book I will fear no evil by Robert A. Heinlein.
- fsloth 7y agoI was about to suggest Battle Angel Alita and Ghost In The Shell (the mangas) but yes, Heinlein has precedence. Iain Banks's Culture novels contain quite a bit material on cross-body consciousness as well and what that means for individuals.
- dmos62 7y agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Will_Fear_No_Evil https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Will_Fear_No_Evil SPOILER: Last paragraph of the plot summary. I found this paragraph particularly nutty (not necessarily in a bad way): > Joan marries her lawyer, Jake Salomon, and moves her household and friends onto a boat. Jake has a massive rupture of a large blood vessel in his brain and dies, but his personality is saved and joins Smith and Eunice in Joan's head. She (Joan, Eunice and Jake) immigrates to the Moon to find a better future for her child. Once there, her body starts to reject her (Smith's) transplanted brain. She dies during childbirth.
- k__ 7y agoHeinlein stuff is generally not to be recommended. "I will fear no evil" is especially bad. A bunch of rich old dudes and hot women.
- abecedarius 7y agoI thought it one of the two worst books he ever wrote. (The other candidate being The Number of the Beast.) Just posting this to discourage anyone from starting there and being turned off Heinlein for life. He's interesting enough that I tried even the stinkers.
