#deteriorating voice

[onvoice]

HAL does not have a body, even if it has an organ – a red-light sensor – and a voice that is preternaturally calm. 

...(when) we hear HAL begin to audibly mentally deteriorate, we are confronted with the eerie disjunction between consciousness and the material hardware that makes consciousness possible.

Mark Fisher, The Weird and The Eerie, p. 111-112
