O'Donnell, Kevin, Jr. Mayflies. New York: Berkley, 1979.

Science in the 23rd c. preserves the hero's brain for use as a starship computer. Cf. A. McCaffrey's Ship Who Sang, J. McElroy's Plus, R. P. Bird's "The Soft Heart of the Electron," and W. Hjortsberg's Gray Matters—all of which see this Category. Also uses the generation-starship motif; cf. R. Heinlein's "Universe," q.v. this Category.
