I'm looking for a protagonist who is actually alienated from humanity and not just a disturbed human like in pic related.
make it about an AI that was put into a human body and dropped into a city with nothing.
Steppenwolf?

The protagonist in Steppenwolf is definitely disturbed.
How about The Stranger? The protag isn't really disturbed, just super bored.
Or pretty much anything by Bukowski.

>The Stranger
This is in part what I was thinking of when I created this thread. He isn't nearly a Stranger enough for me. Sure he's different from most people, but he has no issues interacting with them. There's a certain distance that I'm looking for that's missing from The Stranger.

I'm not saying Yozo had it good, his problems are just on a different level to the ones I'm interested in.
I don't think "No Longer Human" is a fitting description of Yozo's conditions though.
