Got kicked off my flight because they found out I hadn’t put myself in airplane mode. Also I refused to leave the bathroom until the stewardesses wiped me. Pretty sure it was because of the Apple Newton I had implanted in my forearm though.

The series is pulpy.

I like it anyway.

The similarity to the scenario you described is superficial and a subplot but still uncanny.

The TV series based on those books is phenomenal. It’s only up to the third novel though.

this is why “biohacking” is the biggest loving sham in the world. it’s solely for the stupidest poo poo like jamming LEDs or magnets into your skin and then they call themselves “cyborgs.” as loving if. and now you can store your kiddy porn stash or your bitcoin wallet (or both!) on you at all times. fuckin’ disgusting. goddamn I hate this poo poo so much.

I thought you were saying the dentists were recommending surgery so they could afford new phones.


If this kind of stuff existed in the 80's I could've gotten a pogleg to store my valuable pogs in, and I'd be rich now.

Mr. Dick suspects idiotic implant stories exist only to normalize the notion of implants. Everyone knows this example is dumb, but some people probably think mandatory radio transponder or paging implants would be smart and cool for everybody except themselves.
