Do they live in a society where many people *do* get implants but opt out, or where only a few fringe individuals get that kind of thing?Tara Mayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09095632631554776002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37083420.post-23149872566681348502010-10-05T07:57:51.532-07:002010-10-05T07:57:51.532-07:00I've thought about whether my SF characters wo...I've thought about whether my SF characters would get some cybernetic implants, but I've decided most of them wouldn't.
