Let's leave the obvious discussion of the ethics of transhumanism aside for a second and address something literally no one ever talks about.
Why the fuck would I want proprietary corporate hardware in my fucking head with proprietary software running on it? Why would I want my brain implant forced to update Windows 10 style? Why would I want to live in a future where every time I want to use my eye-camera(tm) I have to watch a 30 second ad projected into my consciousness?
Even if people aren't anti-transhumanism (and they should be) why is no one considering the obvious pitfalls that come with any new tech? I don't want Google to be able to access my brain and thoughts, actually.
Yeah the first scene in cyberpunk (Corpo path) shows some HR goon calling you and talking about how your stress levels are too high and to take some drug to calm down (or something like that). I can't wait for HR to have that much reach! /s
