Well, on the one hand, the human brain is far more complex than an interconnected set of deterministic circuits which can be treated as independent entities, that is obvious. The difficulty of recreating it on a computer is also underestimated, even for a work of fiction from the seventies. On the other hand, this text is nowadays still interesting as light reading. From time to time, one may find already in the novel some brilliant early thoughts by the young Crichton. ( ) Harry Benson es un enfermo de epilepsia psicomotora, una enfermedad que desemboca en episodios violentos de los que después no guarda ningún recuerdo. Por si fuera poco, ello ha desembocado en una paranoia que le hace creer que las computadoras conspiran para establecer su control sobre la humanidad. Para tratar de evitar los sÃntomas, su cerebro es conectado a un computador diseñado para contrarrestar los ataques con estÃmulos eléctricos.

HTML:From the bestselling author of Jurassic Park, Timeline, and Sphere comes a neurological thriller about the dangers of cutting-edge medical experimentation. Harry Benson suffers from violent seizures. So violent that he often blackouts when they take hold. Shortly after severely beating two men during an episode, the police escort Benson to a Los Angeles hospital for treatment. There, Dr. Roger McPherson, head of the prestigious Neuropsychiatric Research Unit, is convinced he can cure Benson with an experimental procedure that would place electrodes deep in his brainâ??s pleasure centers, effectively short-circuiting Harry's seizures with pulses of bliss. The surgery is successful, but while Benson is in recovery, he discovers how to trigger the pulses himself. To make matters worse his violent impulses have only grown, and he soon escapes the hospital with a deadly agenda. Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
