The decades continued to drag on, and Bruno continued to work for the company for anoher hundred years. He continued to get his parts replaced as well. In recent years, robotic parts had gotten more expensive while human parts fell in price. As a result, he was probably more human than he had been for two hundred years. And the parts coming in were now almost exclusively female. It always troubled to think about the economics of why human parts -- and, in particular, female parts -- were cheaper. He did consider himself lucky to still have a robotic hand, however. It wasn’t his original; he had gotten an upgrade about ten years ago, but he wasn’t sure if he could ever deal with having human hands again. They were just too squishy, soft, and weird -- much like he felt like his body was now!
