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.

@pheras @uma_karma Looking forward (with growing dread) to the inevitable proliferation of networking in the cyberware, for telemetry and reconfiguration. Or ads, to offset cost of the implants. And then the unpatched zero day attacks.
