COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Water/Immigration/Neuromancer submitted by Michael Flynn on November 27, 2010, 9:33am Great concept for near future sci-fi . A lot of things become possible (good and bad) when humans plug their nervous systems directly into the internet.
Sexual connections are more intimate. Actual memories can be shared and sold on blog sites...
Immigrant laborers can stay in Mexican slums and work remotely via robots. To keep workers awake they are administered pure oxygen which causes their blindness over time.
