There is a german book, "the last of his kind" bei Andreas Eschenbach, that seems strangely relevant, its about a cyborg living out its last days in ireland. Its one of those little masterpieces of scifi in my opinion, that never make a splash. Its very humane, i especially love the part were he starts to compare himself to a old soda dispenser machine, in "need of a good whack to reboot". If you are mechanical, turning it off and on again, gets a totally new meaning.
also loved the stoic philosophy.
