“Did you see the news today?” Jan asked me, with that look on her face that told me whatever it was, she didn’t like it.
“No, why?”
“They’ve just invented a robotic human brain, it’s the last organ to be cracked, so now you can build a whole human from robotic organs.”
“Wow, you’d never make a mistake, think how useful that’d be, bet it’s expensive.”
“It’s like all the other robotic organs, only the richest can get them. You know I read a piece in the paper the other day, it’s reckoned that 99.8% of the worlds wealth is in the hands of people who are between 85 to 97% robots. This new brain will push that number even higher, maybe up to 100% in some cases.”
“So they’ll be living longer and be less prone to mistakes. Tony at work reckons they can communicate in way we don’t know about. I have to say that even though I always thought the world would get taken over by robots, I never really thought it’d be quite like this.”
