You are forgetting the electric monk.
Quote:“The Electric Monk was a labour-saving device, like a dishwasher or a video recorder... Electric Monks believed things for you, thus saving you what was becoming an increasingly onerous task, that of believing all the things the world expected you to believe.”

Been years since I read it but isn't there a delux version of the electro-monk. The difference being that the delux version believes things they don't even believe in Salt Lake City.
