The Terminal Experiment has propelled Robert J. Sawyer into the limelight as one of science fiction's hot new writers, earning him the prestigious Nebula Award in the process. In this fast-paced thriller, Dr. Peter Hobson's investigations into death and afterlife lead him to create three separate electronic versions of himself: one has no memory of physical existence and represents life after death; one has no knowledge of death or aging and represents immortality; and the third is left unaltered as a control. But all three have escaped into the worldwide matrix...and one of them is a killer. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

«Человек-терминал», другие названия: «Опасный пациент» Роман, 1972 год Аннотация:
В Лос-Анджелесе начала 70-х гг. компьютерный программист Гарольд
Бенсон, доставлен полицией в городскую больницу. Он страдает от болезни
головного мозга, которая вызывает "затмения" и агрессивное поведение.
Доктор Джон Эллис, глава команды нейрохирургов, описывает Бенсона как
идеального кандидата на экспериментальную процедуру — внедрение
электродов непосредственно в мозг для управления вспышками агрессии.
Доктор Джанет Росс не убеждена, что эта процедура сработает, но
забаллотирована другими врачами. Операция выполнена — электроды
внедрены в мозг, и чип с ядерной подзарядкой вставлен в его плечо.
Бенсон преднамеренно вызывает припадки, чтобы получить разряд
благостных эмоций, становясь "электрическим наркоманом." Вскоре Бенсон
сбегает из больницы. Чем закончится охота на пациента?
