Cyberpunk is Nigh

I've been seeing amazing things recently in the field of artificial replacements for the human body, working bionic eyes, bionic arms that hook directly into nerves and actually give a sense of touch, these things have all been seen in development over the last few years.

But it is this which truly makes me think that cyberpunk writer's accuracy is disturbing. I take this as proof of the concept of addiction to virtual reality, better than life chips or whatever you want to call them. If people can react this strongly about not being able to go to live in a fake world from a 2.5 hour movie, these people will never resurface should someone give them access to a totally convincing VR of some fake utopia.

We don't need a race of machines to make the matrix and enslave us, we will have people lining up to do it to themselves the moment apple makes the iMatrix.


In other news Project A is in it's last chapter. Huzzah!
