3.5
“This is an entertaining short-story about a future where biological human beings oppose the existence and humanity of hard-shell human who transferred their conscience into machines, allowing their brains to be replicated. Entertaining, but it did not tickled my brain. I also felt that the tones were quite inconsistent.”
