This is reminiscent of how neuroprostheses work in Ghost in the Shell. Microscopic nanobot injection, they figure out where your brain is, go there and buddy up. They interface with each other and the nervous system, and enable stuff like synthetic telepathy, AR and VR. Direct connections between brains and the Internet. Remote control of devices. Better drivers for and control of other prosthetic parts.
Exciting times we’re living in.

Naam even mentions the neural dust experiments in the epilogue of the last novel.
Edit: I see that I missed @Nicholas_Marshall’ reference to Nexus.

For the purposes of this experiment, wouldn’t it make more sense for them to be seekrat?
The real worry is when they decide to implament a subscription model neural net.
