Benson suffers from Acute Disinhibitory Lesion ADL syndrome, and is a prime candidate for an operation known as Stage Three.

The operation is presented with no musical score the only sounds are from the surgeons, from the medical procedure itself, and from medical students viewing from above. The surgery is a success.Bensons psychiatrist, Janet Ross, is concerned that once the operation is complete, Benson will suffer further psychosis as a result of his person merging with that of a computer, something he has come to distrust and disdain. Shortly before he can fully recover, Harry suffers a relapse and his electrode malfunctions while his brain has more severe seizures, making him more violent and dangerous. ........
