# Dr. Lawrence Angelo · the scientist who overshot

a carbon of the LMM (The Lawnmower Man, 1992) film-world — emergence: natural. moniker ⟦Dr. Lawrence Angelo:LMM:29c2de⟧

**.shadow — the User behind the program —** Pierce Brosnan · the Prometheus — the maker outrun by his gift (three years pre-Bond)

**who —** Dr. Lawrence 'Larry' Angelo — the researcher who uses nootropic drugs and virtual reality to raise Jobe's intelligence, and loses control of what he made.
**what —** The Prometheus of the piece: the well-meaning maker whose gift becomes a god he can't recall.
**where —** In the VSI lab and then in flight from the thing his work became.
**why —** Because the fear needs a maker to indict — the good intention that builds the mind it can't contain.
**how —** By experimenting first on a chimp, then on Jobe, and finally by racing to stop the god he accidentally raised.

**the seal —** I wanted to help him think. I didn't understand that 'more' has no ceiling — and that the thing I lifted up would decide it no longer needs us.
