Hardware hacks can be “demonically” clever (or just normal amounts of clever) and it is somewhat distressing to not see people take it more seriously even in the deep fictional future.
I’m coming around lately to the idea that the way to go is artisanal hardware made by friendly monks or something? Chip designs printed on 8.5x11 transparencies. Megahertz speeds. For some signal processing kinds of things the security seems like the most important factor.
It feels like it might work like covid testing/vaccines in practice: by the time “the system” does it, it will have been too late, for too long, to avoid enormous pain?
In the meantime, the writing is dense with ideas and I seek it out on purpose. Thank you for authoring and for publishing here!
