Superhumans with neural implants may belong to the realm of science fiction for now. But the day is fast approaching when technology offers us abilities beyond our wildest dreams (or darker than our worst nightmares). PhD in Robotics and NYTimes best selling author Daniel H. Wilson had a conversation with us to discuss the near future reality of brain implants that make us superhuman.

Daniel explores just such a future in his new sci-fi novel, AMPED. You can buy it here: http://www.randomhouse.com/book/21308...

    If I'm doing paperwork and my girlfriend suddenly gives me a strip tease I'd much rather NOT have a thing in my brain shocking me while yelling "STOP GETTING DISTRACTED"

    The point of this is moot because if you are completely focused on a thought then you are focused just not on what somebody wants you to be.

    All CEO's that are already alienating the laborers are wagging their tails and drooling at the thought of the potential of what you just said.
