I am pretty sure I don’t want to replace my eyeballs with mechanical eyes.
If you have vision problems, as I do, those “mechanical eyes” sound interesting.
Fantasy appeals strongly to the adolescent mind because our bodies at that age start to change and develop new powers, so to speak—just not necessarily the kinds of powers we might want; or else our new powers still don’t meet the needs of our new desires. Notice especially how fantasy appeals strongly to the sorts of boys who get pushed aside from access to girls until their 20′s, or even indefinitely in more cases than we would care to admit.

But that is self-hating escapism mostly.
