I once read a science fiction book, maybe from the 1980s, the plot of which I really can't remember except the ending. The main character found a way to "plug" into his computer and he was taken over by the computer, covered with wires and cords, etc. all while sitting in his chair at his desk.

I think there is a part in a Stephen King novel where a teenage boy becomes part of the computer system as you describe - hands connected to the keyboard, and his eyes are the screen - byt I can't remember which one. Maybe Needful Things?– NiceOrcApr 17, 2012 at 8:41

Not sure of the scifi book, but the description immediately reminded me of Jimmy Jet and His TV Set.– JoshApr 17, 2012 at 14:32

2That reminds me of one of the original superman films, where the computer becomes self aware and drags in the people using it.– AidanOApr 25, 2012 at 8:15

It might have been a book by Dean Koontz, I think it was called Midnight.

I'm not seeing anything in Midnight's summary that indicates that it includes this scene. Anyone with more experience with the book? Jan 30, 2015 at 17:46

3Yeah, I've got Midnight, that fate happens just as described to some kid named 'Denny' who is then found by Loman (his father). I've right now skimmed through it to double check against my memory Jul 27, 2019 at 17:43
