If it got me out of chemo and radiation therapy, I'd totally take a slick-ass robot body. Where do I sign up?

I too would like a robot body.

Knowing what we do about her dad and his coworkers, it's proably in beta; mostly until the lawmakers, ethics-commities, and insurance companies catch-up.
I mean, after-all, the two main questions will be, "Is this ethical?" and "How much can we charge for it?"

I was unaware of that. I thought AG was a possible distant future of QC.

also jeph has said on record that alice grove and qc are not connected

I'm sure her parents will be the first ones to do it.

How long before Hanners investigates transferring herself into an AI body?

Prosthetics have come a long way and with 3D printing have become cheaper. Advances in neuro interfaces are also being made all the time so it's only a matter of time before affordable, light weight, and full range prosthetics become the norm.. At the same time various anti-aging studies have been making huge headway so we may soon(ish, probably a good decade still) be able to pop a pill to reverse or at least stop aging.

Totes, plus Hanners' nose is different. I like this thread so much tho

I NEED TO SEE PINTSIZE'S REACTION TO TEA! I will pay
2017-09-20 15:45:08 +0000 UTC
I've always wanted a robot body
2017-09-20 15:42:46 +0000 UTC
I've discovered recently that I have osteoporosis (for no readily discernible reason) to add to the list of ills which my flesh is heir to, so I would like to know where MY robot body is.

I'm not typically one to argue against a ship, but don't the two characters in the ship have to have met before?

And one more reason to doubt that Hannalore is Alice...
Alice has (usually) blue eyes. Hanner's are green.

Roko taking her hair down in panel 3 is a very nice touch.
2017-09-20 12:16:01 +0000 UTC
Bad knees, multiple hernias -- yeah, where is my robot body?
2017-09-20 12:13:59 +0000 UTC
I agree.
2017-09-20 12:12:06 +0000 UTC
I'm going to go out on a limb and say no, but that's ONLY because I firmly believe this entire universe is somewhere inside a Praesis. And probably inside the Praesis's butt. *sigh*
2017-09-20 12:11:03 +0000 UTC
I really hope not. :(

This may seem like an odd question, Jeph, but: Is Hannalore Alice Grove?

I used to fear Pintsize leading the Robot Uprising. Now I fear he'll get a short giraffe body and THEN lead the Uprising.
Please, don't let Pintsize anywhere near tea!
Bartender! Another Jura Prophecy, please. Make it a double.

We're here for you when the next short-necked giraffe rears its insufficiently lofty head.
2017-09-20 07:06:15 +0000 UTC
1 robot body over here please!
2017-09-20 05:37:23 +0000 UTC
No short-necked giraffes this time. Whew! QC is a safe place once again. No freak-outs here!
