Nature has an article on the growing number of abandoned people with neural implants from companies that have gone out of business or pivoted.

Reading Flowers for Algernon as a teenager devastated me, and I still get related nightmares. I cannot imagine what this situation must be like to live through.

Abandoned: the human cost of neurotechnology failure

@uma_karma @pheras Flowers for Algernon was one of my favorite short stores when I was a kid, so sad... It's truly tragic what's happening to these people...
