    As technology advances, the bridge between us and our technology becomes shorter and shorter. In the future humans will augment themselves with technology in drastic ways, constructed organs, cybernetic body parts, etc. But in the future we will not merely just augment ourselves physically, we will augment ourselves mentally. The brain is the center of all human experience and in a world where false memories can be implanted, any experience can be possible! But if memory implantation did develop in the future, what would be its dark side, how does it affect humanity and the society that we live in? We’ll discuss it all in this episode of The Cosmic Chronicles!
