[ExI] far future

[Nuala Thomson]

This would be the first time I've contributed to anything, and I was pleased to receive your email.

I can offer my ideas of what I want to do to myself based on what technology would be available in the future but a lot of it would be conservative.

The only genetic alteration I want done is to change my hair colour to purple.

Brain enhancement wise: being able to control the release of chemicals and how much is released. Adrenalin and serotonin are a good example.

More cyborg related: increased strength and grip by electrical impulses.
Limb replacement (eg, below the elbow or whole arm) replaced with metal for bones and synthetic skin, that house hidden weapons. Think hidden blade assassins creed style (something to look up if you don't play video games), or a mini turret gun.
I know a lot of people that want enhanced eyesight. To be able to switch from normal vision to infra red or UV.
If you're after more military style I'd look into some of the augmentations the main character from Deus Ex had. It would atleast provide some inspiration.

One of my ultimates would be to become a part of my motorbike. To share a consciousness. To be able to not sit on but more inside, have it read my energy/genetic code and respond based on that. From ignition to suspension. I suppose if there were a way to meld with my bike on a conscious level, Avatar (the movie) had it pretty close. But what I imagine is more a bike that you slot your limbs into.

Anyway there are some ideas, and I hope those references give you some inspiration.
I would love to read your book when it's ready, or not.

And I apologise for any grammatical errors and disjointed text.
This is a reply on my phone during work.

Nuala.
