Having had his brain wired to interact with the computers of a General Dynamics A-230 fighter aircraft, an honorably discharged George Jackson must learn to live with some of the more ancient parts of his brain. He's aided in this by a similarly wired woman and by Aleph, the computer person who runs Athena Station—and who interfaces with Jackson, teaching Jackson to see the world as Aleph sees it. (Cf. TM's "The Mind Like a Strange Balloon," this Category.)
