    About this ebook

    An exciting and thoughtful short story about where technology may soon take us, and how it may soon become us...

    Marshall Aram is dying, his old body slowly falling apart. His immense wealth, however, gives him the opportunity to beat back the cold fingers of death slowly encircling him by replacing his failing limbs and organs with robotic components. Piece by piece, Marshall becomes something neither man nor machine. Where will it stop?

      The doctors assured me the shrapnel in my leg would do no further harm if they “let sleeping dogs lie,” or at least less harm than trying to take it out would cause. “Hey,” I asked them. “What if it decides to cut its way out all on its own?” My grea
