The Future is Now
summary
Claims that cyberpunk is imminent get nailed down with actual artifacts: a cast silicone prop with an LED ring embedded in a silicone hand that lights on a live hashtag, a life‑cast face with about 15–16 RGB LEDs driven by an Arduino Uno + 16‑channel PWM shield controlled via Node.js, demos of NFC implants (read/write rice‑grain tags from Dangerous Things) and discussion of the North Star Hall‑sensor implant and identity‑kit fake fingerprints; biometric breaches number 5.6 million in one cited example, and the prototypes demonstrably work.
