Harry Benson is a brilliant computer expert, who is also an epileptic given to increasingly severe black-outs in which he attacks the nearest person at hand. A team of doctors, including surgeons and an attractive woman psychiatrist, will implant in Harry, literally, a miniature computer aimed at controlling his seizures. There is only one major problem. Harry is also slipping further and further into insanity, convinced that "machines are taking over the world."

Review of 'The terminal man' on 'Goodreads'

People keep calling Douglas Richards a worthy successor to Crichton. Either I had a dodgy copy, or this isn't one of his best works.
The entire plot seemed to be expensive medical thing goes in guys head, guy gets worse due to medical thing. Like that wasn't predictable?

Am I missing something?
