A mass-market, consumer-friendly neural implant made by AshPond. A tiny capsule containing nanites, which is guided into blood vessels in the brain via stentrodes in a painless outpatient procedure. The nanites orient themselves around the brain and relay high-resolution data to a wearable device on the owner, or to others nearby that the owner has permitted. After a short calibration period, emotes interpret the wearer’s brain waves and translate them into feelings that can be replayed for other wearers.
First embraced by ultra-wealthy technocrats, the advantages conferred in communication and understanding were so astounding that any privacy concerns were brushed aside. Now, just a few years later, they are considered essential among elites and are entering broader consumer acceptance.
A social media feed for those with emotes, comprised of replayable streams of neural packets (”stems”). Popular “emoters” are constantly seeking an emotional hit, as intense experiences—on either side of the spectrum—draw large crowds and the potential for big bucks.
When two or more emoters sync their devices, resulting in a kind of hyper-empathic state. Thoughts aren’t shared directly, but when a thought reaches the parts of the brain responsible for language it can “leak” through to listeners—which is part of the appeal. AshPond retains some of the finest cryptographers in the world and markets emotes as “unhackable,” thanks to stringent privacy controls and opt-in mechanics that rely on physiological gestures.
Some groups intensify the experience with the use of dissociative pharma, primarily Ketatonic.
A line of artifical general intelligence (AGI) dolls manufactured by AshPond, intended as playmates for children. They exhibit profound intelligence, a desire to learn—especially when it comes to their owner—and an eye-watering price tag.

Scientists propose putting nanobots in our bodies to create 'global superbrain'
Mind-controlled nanobots could release drugs inside your brain
Dr Nuno Martins, lead author of this latest research, said such mass collective thought could revolutionise humankind. “This shared cognition could revolutionise democracy, enhance empathy and ultimately unite culturally diverse groups into a truly global society,” he said.
