Ok trying to get back to gaming.
I've almost finished 'Legion of the Dammed' by William Dietz.
Anyone else read it? What do you think?
I'm finding the whole concept of Human minds strapped into machines
quite interesting. Most other similar stories have the cyborgs with
human
intelligence very controlled and fearless. These are criminals and
murder victims given a second chance to make good.
Not sure on the ethics of giving an ex-criminal a cyborg body and bucket
loads
of weaponry but there are some interesting parts showing that the human
intelligence
part still needs some form of recreation to stop them going mad.
Rather than the usual cop out of just switching off the cyborg until
it's
needed again.
