That the human mind can be decoded into a computer language, it
can then be hacked into, bits of real memory erased and a totally
false past and present programmed into the human mind without the
victim any the wiser...
That humanity can have so many prosthetics that they are no
different from androids. Androids have artificial intelligence and
try to pass off as humans... and they are hunted down Blade
Runner-style by augmented humans who are police.. no different from
the androids they hunt except for the "Ghost"..
That a program, which learns, which hacks into human minds, gains
sentience and becomes alive...
Concepts like that.
Are we moving towards this type of future? This was also the sort
of concept which was written in Neuromancer by William Gibson. Our
current innovations and direction in IT are mostly inspired by
Gibson.
It paints a very very scary and bleak future indeed.
