Hacking your biology is real. You can change your metabolism, alter your sensory perception, grow new organs and designer features, and so on. The technological breakthrough that enabled the bionic revolution came from a secret source code leak on the dark web. Thing is, nobody knows who wrote it; the author was pseudonymous. After a few decades, we find out that they also hold the API keys to the new tech... when they start trolling the users.

Reply to comment by GenPhallus in [PM] Give me prompts to help me think of some character and plot ideas. I'm looking to write a Cyberpunk story without being too derivative of the series I'm watching right now (Cyberpunk Edgerunners). Bonus points if the prompt includes something to help make the world unique and different. by SorryUncleAl

I wonder what would happen if they took the Abraham Wald approach and designed a counterintuitive algorithm. Like, make a heatmap of violent crimes (assault, robbery, rape, etc.), and then sic the algo on non-violent crimes in the inverted heatmapped areas, like larceny, wire fraud, and so on. Higher-income areas have wealthier people, and statistically wealthier people are better equipped to commit high-dollar white collar crimes. You could also use the hottest areas on the violence heatmap to target social services support.

I guess so far I'm at: sealed vial of blood, inside paper bag of ashes, inside travel urn, inside urn, inside coffin, inside casket, inside sarcophagus, inside burial vault, inside tomb, inside cenotaph, inside pyramid.

What about a burial vault?

I'm trying to get the "this encloses that" matrioshka order of funerary containers correct so I can enclose the world's most anticlimactic 'pop goes the weasel' joke for future archeologists.
