I've continued, under the illusion that Egan is having one over here, sort of a lampooning, but things are getting twisted around enough that this is getting irritating

Gah!! This has been going along so WELL is every way, but now looks like he's blown out the plot from a confused premise!! He doesn't seem to be able to differentiate emotions & (logical) thought... And who sees EVERY decision, such as whether to eat or not as a CHANGE IN ONE'S IDENTITY??

Got past some questionable plot points, but Plot blown p94. He's got a "mod" (P3) that reduces emotional response so he can think logically. Thus follows human physiology fine. But then in part two, he's implanted with another brain mod which somehow bypasses all of this to make home HARDWIRED loyal to his new situation through his emotions!?!?
