The andro legs made him seem offbeat, but they worked wonders and saved him a lot of time.He had perfected and customized the attachments taking great pains and now he longed for andro hands.

Immortality could be bought too, for the age had turned cryogenic. Males no longer needed to reproduce. Females no longer needed a perfect match- it was all AI. The Chinese room argument was negated with the discovery that curiosity, imagination and awareness could be artificially produced by injecting small amounts of R.A. every ten neptunes.
