cuckoonest post!

In these few pages for 267-290, one thing stood out to me. They are doing electric shock therapy on the patience in the hospital. “Twist some dials,and the machine trembles, two robot arms pick up soldering irons and hunch down on him.”(Pg. 283) This means the book takes place back before electric shock therapy was banned. They fried the patients until smoke came pouring out of the window. I find this to be cruel and unusual punishment and it never really helped the patience at all.
