You have, like, an 85% chance of dying in the first year of spontaneous, untreatable cancer. Is it really worth it for that 1.5 points of deltaware?

The ultimate goal is cybermancy is to obliterate the distinction between meat and chrome altogether. Ghosts in the Machine are are part of the solution but there may be a difference between the mind and the metaphysical soul. Cybermancy is a soul trap, pure and simple. It prevents metahuman's living soul from going to the afterlife or vanishing to the ether or becoming a ghost or whatever it is that they do.
If they do it right, if they go far enough, they'll be able to transform fragile a metahuman into an immortal machine-man. You can never know if a Ghost in the Machine is really you or just a program with your memories, but cybermancers can guarantee that it is your actual metaphysical soul in that slab of metal if they could push their techniques far enough and work out the kinks. People would pay a lot of money for that kind of immortality. |
