I guess it falls to me to make mumble of “wireheads”? The oft-repeated theme and admonition of becoming addicted and/or evilly controlled by brain (‘wire’) implants? Even that impressive wikipedia compendium didn’t include the connection to direct brain control found in the Tripod series, where humans were implanted with “caps” to control their savage and creative behaviors. Certainly there’re enough literary cautionary tales to suggest some caution with this particular technology.
