[edit] Synopsis
Harry Benson, an unimpressively characterized man in his 30s, is a sufferer of psychomotor epilepsy. He often has seizures, periods of blackout, and he then wakes up hours later to unfamiliar surroundings with no knowledge of what he's done. Benson is in the third stage of the disorder, and he is a prime candidate for an operation to implant electrodes and minicomputer in his brain to control the seizures. One of the surgeons expresses concern about Benson's already psychotic behavior, fearing that mixing a psychotic man capable of violence with computers will produce an efficient, computer-directed psychotic man with violent strains.
