This is an area of science that fascinates me, which I’ve used in several stories. The first, “Taking Pro,” is in the Futuristica 2 anthology, due out in November.

I have another that I’m working on, though, which has come to a stop because I’m conflicted over my own conclusions, in some of the ways that the article points out as issues for the technology. If I can portray that conflict effectively in the story, it’ll be a very powerful one.

    A lot to ponder here… given how badly we have screwed up the engineering of our physical environment (especially our denial of real costs, long-term costs, inequalities, etc.), I’m not optimistic that we will do a good job engineering our brains…but for people suffering from debilitating illnesses, it sounds like there is hope!

    Yes, the glass is definitely at the 50% mark on this one.
