Six of Nine

Well now you make me want to switch, but I still have a perfectly good iphone and replacing it just seems wasteful. sigh, maybe in a few years.

How is graphene day to day? Is it basically just android sans google or are there major compromises?

I apparently need to upgrade my lexical processor - I couldn’t understand it.

I’m trying to understand what she’s saying (while pretending to work at my corpo job), and much of it seems very 2nd wave feminist. “feminine = exploitable, subservient, vulnerable”, “masculinity = good at fixing things”, and then offers that cyborgs (ie transhumanism?) are an escape from this very narrow view of gender and political identity? Am I completely off the mark?

Like is she saying that because we have, for example, guns (technology superior to our animal flesh) that men and women are more equally capable of defending themselves and thus on more equal ground? Or is it something else entirely?

Cyberpunk was very much a product of the 1980s. The societal fears in the US revolved around rising crime rates, unchecked capitalism, Japan’s rise in influence, etc.

I mean, replace Japan with China/Russia and this very much applies to the 2020s.

Nothing in my brain. Anything else is fair game, but I’d prefer to remain mostly human-looking. A “sleeper build”, so to speak. I’d probably focus on improving sensory acuity and strength/resiliency.
