Those of you out there who've read John Brunner's "Stand on Zanzibar"
(among the finest works in science fiction) may notice the origins of the
word 'eptification' that brunner coined for the process applied to the
gentle ~hero~ to convert him into an extremely competent (somewhat
twisted) killer.  At least i figured that's what Brunner intended.
