THE PROTHESIS

THE PROTHESIS
By Avner Givoni

GENRE: Sci-fi, Comedy
LOGLINE:

A revolutionary prosthesis with a built-in AI chip is installed on the amputee Noam. Noam works two hours a week as a poor broadcaster and for pennies. Noam promotes the success of his revolutionary prosthesis on his radio show and becomes a sought-after broadcaster. Social Security intends to cut his disability allowance and creates a financial crisis that causes him to change his profession and become a desirable and successful gigolo.

SYNOPSIS:

Noam is a military amputee who lives at home, receives a disability allowance and is fortunately employed twice a week as a wretched radio broadcast program on a local radio channel, due to his radiophonic voice.

Noam is married to Malka, a nurse he met while she was taking care of him in his rehabilitation.

His doctor offers him to install a revolutionary new type of prosthesis, which includes a built-in AI cheap which reactivates his damaged nerves to an artificial leg, activated by his brain. In addition, the chip protects from bad habits and suicidal behaviour, the person in whom the prosthesis is installed.

Noam, as the host of an interview radio broadcaster, shares with his listeners his experiences regarding the installation of the prosthesis and receives unusual listening rates, but the owner of the station is not willing to increase his meager salary at the station.

National Insurance forces the disabled people who install the new prosthesis to give up their disability allowance apart from the minimum allowance a year from the date of installation of the prosthesis, because now they can work and earn a living.

This puts Noam and his wife in a serious financial problem. At the end of the process Noam does what he knows best, radio broadcasting and sex. He becomes a gigolo and has unprecedented success.

The chip opposes his success because he consumes his strength with too many meetings with women. The chip interferes with Noam during broadcasts with his listeners, and even during his work as a gigolo.

A fascinating and entertaining look at the time when artificial intelligence will rule us.
