Cyborg Transhuman Compared to Kafka's Metamorphosis

Cyborg Transhuman Compared to Kafka's Bug Metamorphosis

Franz Kafka’s Human to Bug Metamorphosis

The Metamorphosis is one of the most durable works of fiction both because of the simple concept, that of a man turned into a bug, and Franz Kafka’s deftly executed narrative in which the omniscient third-person narrator presents Gregor Samsa’s transformation in a completely straightforward manner. Kafka’s tale of a man who wakes to find he has changed into a giant insect still has the power to shock and delight a century after it was first published. Many regard it as the greatest short story in all literary fiction. Metamorphosis is 100 years old based on 1915 when the story was published. It's a kind of horror story of sorts. Its premise – a man transforms into the body of an insect – exerts a ghastly fascination beyond anything in even the consummate short works of Chekhov or Joyce or Alice Munro. In 1915 the dramatist Carl Sternheim, winner of the prestigious Theodor Fontane prize, bestowed his prize money on Kafka as a mark of writer-to-writer respect.

Humanoido’s Human to AI Machine Cyborg Metamorphosis
Now step into Humanoido's Metamorphosis to become one with the machine, in 2019. Extreme invasive connections of man to machine allow a symbiosis of functions with side effect spinoff technology such as life longevity, faster processing and analysis, and enormous improvements to health. Step by step, Humanoido is making connections with his body to the Big Brain AI, in an effort to become one with the machine. Slowly every two weeks over the course of three years the transformation metamorphosis has taken place, changing human response and appearance into machine AI response and appearance.

Comparisons

Both meta changes encompass great surprises to the human anatomy, and both garner judgement by fellow colleagues and humans. Both are processes with changes that take time and continue to progress. Both yield shocking results. Perhaps the bug is a kind of horror story but we hope the morphing of man and machine is a more pleasant transformation.

Search for Dry Dock

THE SEARCH FOR DRY DOCK

YIKES!!! I don't know if the the Big Brain is angry, upset, or fully cognizant of what happened. The emotion chip is not yet fully installed. Maybe that's a good thing.

Will the Big Brain hide under the bed like da-Chong, a big BS1 Bug?

It has rained day and night here for three weeks, mostly nonstop. As a result, there's a water leak!!! A pan can catch the temporary drips, but these drops could be highly damaging and deadly harmful to the Big Brain. Did we remember to waterproof the Big Brain??? I wonder why that was never suggested when the project was getting started. What if the Brain fell into a swimming pool or a bottle of soft drink fell into it the boards and Propeller processor arrays? What if the Brain went outside for a Robotic Blob Walk and it started to rain? Or the ceiling dripped!!! The drip will need to be fixed immediately and the brain may end up hiding under layers of plastic wrap until the repair work is completed. So now there's a delay for Big Brain to fully move into its snugly Crypt, at least until we can guarantee a dry dock. In the mean time, the Brain will fully operate on main floor, using a rigged bi-parted home station. This may be comprised of rows of cardboard boxes placed end to end to act as big lab benches. Currently a wood bench, inverted by 90-degrees, is in use.

If the Brain must hide under the plastic wrap, it reminds me of the fictional story by Franz Kafka, "The Metamorphosis," published in 1915. It's a story of a traveling salesman that awakes to find himself transformed into a giant bug and ends up hiding under the bed! On the surface, Gregor’s story seems simple enough. He wakes up, he’s a bug. (Kafka establishes early on that his transformation is not a dream.) But what kind of bug is thisungeheueren Ungeziefer? Translations vary from “gigantic insect” to “monstrous vermin”; at one point a maid calls him a dung beetle, and Vladimir Nabokov has drawn a very helpful picture. Most people think of a cockroach, which is more an instinctual reaction of disgust than anything else. However, the physical details are unimportant, and Kafka insisted that published editions of The Metamorphosis contain no actual illustrations of the bug. What matters is that the main character has become something despicable, horrifying, and yet kind of funny – a scurrying little chaos hiding behind the bedroom door. Link
