“I am now filming your bionic hand with my bionic eye.”

These words have been uttered - and aren’t science fiction.

Some of you may remember an awesome and startling video I posted in August for the video game, Deus Ex: Human Revolution (here). It depicted a dystopian future brought about by transhumanist upgrades from corrupt companies. Well, the Deus Ex people hired Rob Spense, a self-proclaimed “eyeborg” (who kinda reminds me of an early Snake Plisskin), to produce this mini-documentary about the current state of transhumanist upgrades, such as bionic eyes and limbs. Pretty interesting stuff, and I love that it was done by a game company, which is fascinating in itself.

“I mean, who says that a normal human leg is the optimal thing for you. [Our] species evolved to this leg we have now, but who says that’s the end of the line?”

Welcome to the Future everyone! Happy New Years from RCS!

2012: Now we OFFICIALLY live in the future.
