The Human-Machine
We all know the story of the Tin Woodman. But here's a more modern version of it.
Once upon a time, there was a stuntman. His job required him to perform many stunts, all of which were extremely dangerous to his life and health. It's no surprise that he often suffered injuries. But he also had a friend – a half-mad inventor. When the stuntman received his first injury (his arm was amputated below the elbow), his friend offered him something fantastic: a mechanical arm with servo motors. It worked well, and the stuntman was able to make very precise movements with it, such as threading a needle. It was almost like a real arm, only it gleamed with a steel sheen. The left arm followed, then one leg, then the other, then the ribs and chest, then the thighs. The final touch was the replacement of the head. In principle, the new organism was very convenient, required minimal maintenance, although it was afraid of dampness, because the joints rusted and began to creak. But that was scary only in the time of the Tin Woodman – nowadays, many oils and additives have been invented, so the human-machine is not in danger. He has immense strength, and he is in high demand in film studios. Well, and the fact that the head makes a slight humming sound if you tap it – that's just a minor detail.
