Hya Ben. You read *The Ship Who Sang* by Anne McCaffrey in 1969? I just checked and it is available in ebook form now. A unique tale about a post-holocaust future in which babies born so physically deformed that their bodies are useless have their brains kept alive to intelligently control machines, IQ matched to complexity. Dummies might become household appliance, but the top brain is used to become a starship. The ship is female, the human capitain is male. Superb piece of writing. Cheers. Neil
