Becoming Human — Gene Brewer

Becoming Human is the story of a human-like artificial brain created by a team of scientists in a neurology laboratory. As Oscars intellectual capacity increases with the daily addition of hundreds of neurons, he becomes more and more human, eventually becoming deeply involved in the lives of his creators. All of this raises questions about the meaning of being human, of the soul, and of existence itself.
Ultimately, however, Oscar must be dismantled and moved to a new laboratory, with surprising and unforeseen results.
