I think some here might relate to this book, The Werewolf Principle
Many centuries in the future, a two-hundred-year-old man is discovered hibernating in a space capsule orbiting a distant star. Transported back to his home planet, Andrew Blake awakens to an Earth he does not recognize—a world of flying cars and sentient floating houses—with no memory whatsoever of his history or purpose. But he has not returned alone. The last survivor of a radical experiment abandoned more than a century earlier, Blake was genetically altered to be able to adapt to extreme alien environments, and now he can sense other presences inhabiting his mind and body. One is a biological computer of astonishing power; the other is a powerful creature akin to a large wolf. And Blake is definitely not the one in control. With his sanity hanging in the balance, Blake’s only option is to set out in frantic pursuit of his past, the truth, his destiny—and quite possibly the fate of humankind.
A bravura demonstration of unparalleled imagination, intelligence, and heart, The Werewolf Principle addresses weighty issues of genetic manipulation that are as relevant today as when the novel first appeared in print. One of the all-time best and brightest in speculative fiction, Grand Master Clifford D. Simak offers a moving, stunning, witty, and thought-provoking exploration of what it means to be human.

Did You Know?
The title of Marshall McLuhan’s influential book The Medium is the Massage: An Inventory of Effects was the result of a typesetter’s error. The original title of the book should have been “The Medium is the Message”, which was a frequently used phrase of McLuhan’s, but he was so delighted by the typo and the implications thereof that he insisted it be left untouched.
“Touch grass” or “go touch some grass” is an internet idiom that essentially means “get off the internet and go outside.” People online use it as an insult when someone seems out of touch with reality, especially on social media.“Touch grass” has three meanings, and unlike some other internet slang terms we’ve covered, the line between these three can get blurry.
On the one hand, “touch grass” can be a lighthearted, funny ribbing. It’s a way of telling someone that they’re “too internet,” emphasizing their obsession with things and teasing their unusual interests. It’s even a phrase that you can use with your friends. For example, if your friend tells you about how they managed to watch 60 TV show episodes in one weekend, you might say to them, “you need to touch grass.”Touch grass might also be a response to unusual or antisocial behavior from people on the internet. For example, if you got a bunch of strange or overly angry comments on your recently uploaded video, you might post an image of these comments with the caption, “my viewers need to touch some grass.” Many Twitter users also use “touch grass” to call out people for harassment or rude behavior.
Lastly, “touch grass” can be a retort or comeback on platforms like Twitter and Reddit. In a way, telling someone to touch grass can be an “ad hominem” argument — where you directly insult someone instead of responding to their points. Some people on the internet use the phrase to shut down further discussion or suggest that someone doesn’t know what they’re talking about.
Many instances of this phrase online are somewhere between the three. It can be a joke about someone’s interests, a response to unusual behavior, or a direct insult — or all three simultaneously. Before you tell someone to “touch grass,” you should figure out which of these three your tone leans closes to. It might be best to avoid the term altogether!
