week 10 respond

I read the Come To Venus Melancholy 1965 for this week. It is not really a new kind of story for me. The story is about a woman made into machine because of disease and then be sold to a planet station for resource. It is such a torcher for her and eventually she accidentally killed the partner who is working with her. The story is told in first personal perspective from the women who turned into machine and only form her.

   The main idea of the book is human could be turned into kind of machine and half immortal by removing the brain form body and put it in a “tank”. Then these “human” would able to control electronic stuff like doors and machines. The moral concept is similar to the AI(Artificial Intelligence). If we have AI which have a human’s thought, should we treat it as an AI or human? In the story, the woman is treated as an AI even though she is a human. She doesn't have the physical ability as regular human. She even loses the hearing and seeing ability after his partner smash all of the equipment. The story bring people concerns about the future and machined human.
