Elon Musk Neuralink

Hi, my name is Tony I am a... Well you know. Actually Tony is short for Antonio. I thought if you were reading this you should know, not that anybody really cares. Anyhow, I am a ferocious reader of science-fiction. I like to read. For many years I could remember every single book that I've read. Unfortunately, I cannot do so anymore. However, if I read a science article sometimes I can associate it with a science fiction book that I have read and I like to talk about it. For example, here is the link to an article that I have recently read on the internet: http://www.theverge.com/2017/3/27/15077864/elon-musk-neuralink-brain-computer-interface-ai-cyborgs Recently I have posted a blog on a book that I read called "Psychohistorical Crisis." without getting into too many details one aspect of the book has to do with the characters. They carry a device called a familiar, or a "fam" for short. I can't recall if it was a mechanical or an organic device. The purpose of the device is to be an addition to the natural organic brain; this device can learn and remember as well as do calculations to assist the normal brain. Sort of an advanced smartphone if you think about it. Anybody remember the old personal assistant? Something like that... attached to your brain. If you commit a crime according to the novel you can have your "familiar" executed. Since your memory whether natural or artificially enhanced is a part of your personality the execution, therefore, is like being given Alzheimer on purpose. Talk about cruel and unusual punishment. I would very much like to use Elon Musk Neuralink. For people like me who has a neurological disorder where my memory is fragmented it will be a blessing, but like all technological advances, I am sure that this device will be used differently. Which makes me think now if the device is actually worth it or not. What do you think?

    Humans 1.2 is what neural link is all about. A number of SF stories envision a neural plug at the base of the brain whereby a hard wired interface could be used to link the human brain with any number of electronic gadgets. While you desire is medical interference to be able to selectively enhance or degrade memories as a way to alleviate a brain disorder, the likely hood of any such application becoming real in the next few decades would be just wishful thinking. First this world system would concentrate on weaponizing this concept. And that will take decades.

The Long Mars

The Long Mars by Terry Pratchett My rating: 3 of 5 stars "The Long Mars," the third installment in the Long Earth series, continues to expand the already vast canvas of Pratchett and Baxter's creation. While the concept of "Joker Mars" – echoing the familiar "Joker Earths" – is intriguing, it's just one of three distinct narrative threads woven throughout this book. We follow Sally Linsay on a journey across the Martian Stepped worlds, unraveling the mysteries her father, Willis, seeks. This exploration of the alien landscapes of the Long Mars is certainly compelling, but personally, it was the storyline involving "The Next" that truly captivated me. Joshua Valiente's arc, which delves into the emergence of these post-human children, is where the book really shines. It's a powerful exploration of prejudice, fear, and the potential societal clashes that arise when faced with the "other." The authors masterfully tackle ...

Review of Children of Ruin by Adrian Tchaikovsky

Children of Ruin by Adrian Tchaikovsky My rating: 2 of 5 stars Review of Children of Ruin by Adrian Tchaikovsky Children of Ruin is a masterful sequel to Children of Time, continuing the author’s ambitious exploration of humanity’s legacy and the uncharted complexities of life beyond Earth. This novel dives deep into hard science fiction, weaving intricate themes of advanced technology, speculative biology, and the far-reaching consequences of human ambition. In Children of Ruin, a human-Portiid expedition—comprised of humans and their evolved spider allies—embarks on a journey to Damascus, a once-terraforming candidate planet now inhabited by a highly intelligent species of octopuses. Originally seeded by humanity with the intent of accelerated evolution, these octopuses have transformed into something extraordinary. Their society and technology showcase a rich cultural tapestry, both familiar and distinctly alien, and they possess a profound understanding of their world and the co...

The Long Utopia

The Long Utopia by Terry Pratchett My rating: 3 of 5 stars In The Long Utopia, a novel in the Long Earth series, the artificial intelligences Agnes and Lobsang embark on a unique endeavor: adopting a human child, Ben, and attempting to build a normal pioneering life on one of the seemingly infinite parallel Earths. However, their peaceful existence takes a dramatic turn with the human pioneers discovering a peculiar species dubbed 'silver beetles'. These insects exhibit an unusual behavior of 'stepping down' to lower-numbered Earths. As the pioneers observe them, a terrifying realization dawns: the silver beetles are not merely migrating; they are systematically transforming their chosen parallel Earth into a colossal Dyson Motor, a structure designed to harness the star's energy. Lobsang, with his advanced analytical capabilities, understands the catastrophic implications. These silver beetles can step sideways to other parallel Earths, potentially converting an...
