It looks like a cheeseburger being eaten by a wolf.

Remind me of the short story “Desertion” by Clifford D. Simak. 1944

Plot Summary:
In “Desertion,” humanity has established a base on Jupiter’s moon, Callisto, and developed a process to convert humans into Jovian life forms that can survive Jupiter’s intense pressure and atmosphere. These transformed beings are sent to explore Jupiter — but none have ever returned or reported back.

The story follows Kent Fowler, the director of Dome #6, who decides to undergo the conversion himself after multiple scientists disappear. Once transformed, Fowler discovers that Jupiter is breathtakingly beautiful and spiritually liberating in his new form. He experiences a sense of connection, freedom, and understanding far beyond human experience — and like the others before him, chooses not to return.

It’s a powerful, poetic tale about transcendence, perception, and the limits of human experience — a standout in classic science fiction.
