The novel was written in the 1960s, describing the day "1992" that has not yet arrived (will the author set the time too close? There are three kinds of "people" in it: bounty hunters, bionic people and people with special disabilities. Bounty hunter, with empathy and normal intelligence; Bionic people, without empathy, have normal intelligence; Special disabled people have empathy and no normal intelligence.
I don't know if the era of bionic man will come, and I don't know if bionic man will become the new bottom of human society, and it will be better without war damage and ecological problems. When I started reading last night, I subconsciously glanced at the sweeping robot in the room that could only say "start cleaning", "charge" and "firmware upgrade". I thought it was lucky that it was not smart enough, so it didn't make me feel exploited. The bionic man in the novel becomes a dangerous thing because of the sense of exploitation, and is hunted by the hero, the bounty hunter.
Excerpt:
Most bionic people I know are more energetic and want to live than my wife. She can give me nothing.
When you are depressed to that extent, you no longer care about other things. Indifference is because I feel that I have lost my value. It doesn't matter whether you feel good or not, because you are worthless.
Dark flame pale, vitality is gradually leaving her, just like many bionic people he had seen before. Classic resignation. They will only accept the coming destruction mechanically, and real life-life evolved under the pressure of two billion years of survival-will never be so resigned.
Mersel, he said loudly. Where are you now? This is the underworld. I'm back. But you're not with me this time.
