{"product_id":"book-nt6d","title":"The Artificial Man","description":"\u003cp\u003eGeorge Gregory once believed the mind ruled the body with mathematical certainty. When a devastating injury strips him of that belief, he chooses a dangerous path to reclaim control-not through acceptance, but through replacement. What begins as recovery turns into a private experiment driven by pride, obsession, and a need to prove something no one asked him to prove.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs each loss is answered with machinery, George grows stronger in ability but weaker in restraint. His transformation is not hidden in a laboratory or announced to the world. It unfolds quietly, fueled by isolation, bitterness, and a growing conviction that identity can be preserved no matter the cost. The tension does not lie in whether the experiment works, but in what kind of will emerges when the body becomes optional.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eClare Winger Harris was one of the earliest women to publish science fiction in American magazines. Her work often placed speculative ideas inside intimate human conflicts, where personal belief systems are tested by technology rather than saved by it. \u003cem\u003eThe Artificial Man\u003c\/em\u003e stands as one of her most unsettling stories, combining medical speculation with emotional pressure to ask how far a person can go before selfhood fractures under its own insistence.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"INAudio","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49877610168624,"sku":"BDnt6d","price":1.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/nt6d-Square-cover.jpg?v=1770763855","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-nt6d","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
