I highly recommend it.

Implantable biofuel cells have been suggested [BY MACHINES] as sustainable micropower sources operating in living organisms, but such bioelectronic systems are still exotic and very challenging to design.
One thing I never understood about the Matrix was how the machines were getting more power in electricity out of the human farms than they had to put in as food. Don’t the machines know the three laws of thermodynamics? Or just the three laws of robotics?
