How a Cyborg Senses the World
summary
Born colorblind, implants translate light into vibrations so color becomes audible via an implanted antenna that includes infrared and ultraviolet and connects (once) to NASA’s ISS, then restricts access through blockchain gatekeeping using NFTs; antenna is surgically fixed to skull and accepted on a passport. Built extras include a mouth-to-mouth Bluetooth tooth, a removable tooth light, knee compass, magnetoception hairs and a crown that cycles heat for a sense of time; claims: artificial senses (not AI), revealed reality, and one reported unauthorized color “hack.”
