Brain Wave by Poul Anderson

Did not finish book. Stopped at 7%.

The physicist blinked. The attendant had always been part of the machinery to him; they had exchanged the usual pleasantries, but it hadn’t meant a thing. Suddenly Corinth saw him as a human being, a living and unique organism, part of an enormous impersonal web which ultimately became the entire universe, and yet bearing his own heart within him. Now why, he asked himself amazedly, should I think that?

I realize this book is written in another time period, but it shouldn't take a scientific anomaly to see another human as a person. This could have been left out. This wasn't a good example to put into the story to try to further the point.
