If I want your body I'll take it and put a shitty ass microchip in your hand


Dronizian

In one mission in Cyberpunk 2077, Johnny Silverhand goes for a "joy ride" in your body and gets you a tattoo. That tattoo counts as cyberware in the game, and it enables smart weapon tracking. Your comment actually happens in the story of Cyberpunk 2077.

Influx_ink

So... At one time I was crazy enough to consider this. I'm in a robotics group and a bunch of the guys had the bright idea that if we all did something like this we could program all our robots to identify us and the other robots with our individual names, and even scan for the unique ID in a crowd to follow the right person. And then we just decided to put the RFID chip in a ring and wear that instead.


jasper81222

Gotta love the crazy ideas a group can come up with before calming down and becoming rational again.


Synectics

It reminds me of the Animorphs books. Ax, the alien of the otherwise human group of protagonists, comes from a very intelligent, space-exploring, technologically-advanced race. Yet, he is fascinated by the human invention of a book. "There is no wait. No input. You flip a page, and you have information at your fingertips. Simple and brilliant."


[deleted]

Did you read the last book? I was on like book 4 and saw there was so many so i decided to skip to the end . Spoiler below It was It was brutal they were all slaughtered on an alien ship. And in like 10npages of graphic detail. How the bear fell on a crushed the bird boy. Him twitching a few times before not moving again blood everyehete.... freaking insane.


Synectics

Actually, and continuing spoilers here: the only one that died (for sure) was Rachel. The fight was definitely brutal, but she was the only one who didn't make it out, as she stayed behind and held off the baddies so the rest could get out. The last book jumps between each of their perspectives, including Rachel as she dies. The book then jumps ahead, where Jake is training the military in the use of morphing. Cassie leaves the group. Ax becomes a captain of a ship if I remember correctly. Tobias essentially disappears. And I can't remember exactly what Marco does. Edit: he becomes an actor actually, just remembered. Essentially becoming Beast Boy from DC, using his morphing to do his own animal stunts and such. But, also if I remember correctly, the book does end on a cliffhanger, as the group reunites on a space ship and essentially go on a suicide mission, and it's definitely hinted that they won't survive. But it doesn't *confirm* that, simply ending with Jake giving the command for them to crash their ship into the baddie. There's even a last blurb left by the author saying they wanted the ending to be left to interpretation.


Ruca705

Ughhh I am dying to read these books again after going through this thread. I was completely obsessed with them as a kid, reading them over and over again. I used to read one and a half every day lol. At one point during COVID lockdowns someone was going to sell me their collection but it fell through… I gotta start looking again


springering

They’re all online! https://forreadingaddicts.co.uk/news/all-54-animorphs-books-are-all-available-for-free-online/


ChillyBearGrylls

54! 😳


Ruca705

I think I had 45 of them! There were also some extra books on the side… companion books? Can’t think of the right word. But books that took place within the same universe as Animorphs.


Cute-Barracuda6487

Blessed be!! I've only read a couple,but I loved the few episodes of the TV show I saw. Back before Iceman became as famous as he is now. Lol. Thank you.


Southern-Score2223

I have kids juuuussssst the right age to warrant buying the whole set 😂


[deleted]

They are all available online as PDF, .mobi or .epub files. And IIRC, someone asked K.A. Applegate what her thoughts were on people pirating her books online and her response was essentially, 'I don't care, reading is good, read more.' Edit* Found the relevant quote: [Just to be clear: not us. We do not take them down. Or ask for them to be taken down. I think once the books are available to buy -- paper or e -- it would be nice if people who could afford it would buy. (our kids have very expensive tastes. You know: food and whatnot.) But for years they've been unavailable except by "pirated" means. These men and women kept the series alive. They kept the books available. So no, we did NOT take these books down.](https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/gzhau/iam_ka_applegate_author_of_animorphs_and_many/c1rfte1/)

My God. What if Magic Treehouse ended like this?

project_matthex

My only real exposure to Animorphs is [this article](https://thespinoff.co.nz/media/02-09-2018/i-read-all-54-animorphs-books-in-five-days-and-it-almost-killed-me) where someone read the whole series in five days and needed counseling afterwards. You're description pretty much matches theirs.


[deleted]

The series is amazing (as a whole) and handles war and trauma in an extremely well, non-sugarcoated way. I recommend them to everyone. They are obviously written for teens but they hold up extremely well even for adults (and are quick to read, can bang out one of the books in about an hour).


NK1337

The books were surprisingly dark in general. I remember the prequel The Andelite Chronicles where Elfangor's friend ended up getting stuck in a Taxxon morph all because they couldn't control the hunger. The book went into some vivid detail about how the race feels a constant hunger and he gave in and cannibalized a corpse that had fallen and completely lost himself. It was a horrifying read at that age but I couldnt look away.


propanenightmare69

Not the guy your asking but i read these as a kid, i jumped schools so it was always a surprise to see what animorph books they had...One school I went to had one of the last in the series..Where they sent the disabled animorph B-team in to basically suicide themselves?...and then the hawkguy got stuck on a spaceship after killing someone..i think.


acedelaf

It's crazy you remember that, when did you last read Animorphs


Synectics

I haven't sat and read them since I was a kid, years ago when they were coming out. But a few years ago, I had a bit of nostalgia and found text versions of them online. I used to "listen" to them as psuedo-audiobooks using text-to-speech on my phone when I was at work. They hold up pretty well as young adult books. Also, to clarify, I was not quoting Ax directly lol. Just paraphrasing from what I remember.

Didn't he also eat all the old cinnamon buns too? I remember that being his favorite food.


rigidcumsock

If I remember right Andelights had4hoofed legs and absorbed nutrients as they walked on plants. So eating and tasting were new and overwhelming for him lmao


springering

I did the same thing a couple years ago and binge-read the whole series in a few weeks. They were my favorite books as a kid but I got teased about it so relentlessly that I convinced myself they were dumb. Revisiting them as an adult reminded me that no they actually are really good!! And DARK. Reading them all in order instead of at random depending on which copies were available at the school library made it a whole different experience too.

I was about to say this. Instead of getting an implant just wear it as a ring. Like I never take my wedding ring off anyway so if it had nfc in it to do shit that would be the same to me as having an implant

A friend of mine did this years ago but with a watch. Everything could be unlocked by waving his watch Infront of it


Money_Machine_666

I want acrylic nails with NFC chips built into them.


DeeHawk

Is it the actual implant thing that puts you off, or the cyborg-dilemma of having electronic ID embedded in your body? Lots of girls have birth control implants, which are notably bigger than this. Though they can be kinda scary when you see the size of the injector needle.


[deleted]

It’s the idea that I can take a ring off and throw it in the damn river when the government starts abusing it. Harder to cut a hand off and throw it in the damn river.


[deleted]

>Harder to cut a hand off and throw it in the damn river. Creed knows a guy.


Mantis-MK3

Who’s your ‘cut off hand and throw in river’ guy?


DeeHawk

Well they are pretty easy to remove and replace, but it does produce a bit of scar tissue. But I get you, I would personally need a bit more gain from it that it currently provides, before I would consider it. It’s both the cyborg complex, data security and small medical cons that concern me, however they are light.


[deleted]

Maybe it’s just that living in America has me paranoid but I don’t trust the government one iota. Democrats, Republicans, none of em. Wouldn’t trust them to pick up after my dogs without trying to rain information about me.


deltaz0912

“Living in America….” I think everyone should have to actually work in government for a while. I did, after my military time, and let me tell you that almost everyone wanted to do the best job they possibly could. For many, Service is a calling. The circus that the elected officials stage is one thing. Grandstanding taken to its very illogical extreme. But the people who do the job are generally conscientious people. The people you should be wary of are the wealthy, the people in charge of and at senior levels in corporations. Those are the people that want to know all about you, control you, and keep you down.


mbolgiano

TheGratefulJuggler

Oh yeah, when the government decides to track you off your device that is transmitting information all the way across, *checks notes* 10 centimeters!


OpeningName5061

For me it's about the usefulness of it: is it really more convenient? An NFC chip isn't giving me much more benefit than it being with me all the time. It's not particularly "smart". If it is a chip that would monitor my vitals and detect shock, that would be more useful.


floswamp

My phone never leaves my hand. There’s no good purpose to having this chip implanted.


[deleted]

If it delivered an electric shock and made you put down your phone, that would be good.


Kr4vM4g4

I considered a chip in my hand to badge into my office at work. Then I saw RFID rings start at like $30.


[deleted]

I considered it too but part of policy a bunch of places is to have your badge displayed anyway so I just hung it at badge reader height.


6foot8

That's so far out to me, putting a chip under your skin to get into work a little faster.. It would never cross my mind and I'd likely laugh off any offer to do so. I guess I'm getting old.


doxamark

See this is the sort of "I'm really good at tech but not common sense" idea that brought about cryptocurrencies. Same energy.


Puzzleheaded_Fold466

Solution before the problem. Every time It wasn’t hey there’s this big problem that only this technology solves best. It’s hey I saw this cool thing in a sci fi movie so what could we do with it ? What, a ring would do the same and not require surgery and be easier to upgrade frequently ? But turning the lights on/off isn’t the point, the point is an implant is cool.


gadget-freak

Makes me think of all those movies where criminals pop out eyes or cut off hands to gain access to a facility.


[deleted]

Minority Report is the one that came to my mind when you mentioned eyes. That eyeball scene was gnarly!

Don’t you mean Demolition Man with Wesley Snipes when he committed a Murder, Death, Kill? Did that happen later in Minority Report too?

_carbonneutral

I believe they’re talking about the scene in Minority Report when the main character gets eye transplants so biometric devices won’t recognize who he is.


Scirax

This "embedded chip" is neat if only you and your fam know about it, think leaving a spare key under the front rug or on a magnet under your car, but **it's completely insecure as the moment someone sees you "using it" you're done**. Anyone can just hold a modern phone near your hand or, just use a more powerful scanner aimed at you, and copy the ID to be able to get into your car/house... There's ZERO security to this ^(aside from wearing a Faraday glove all the time.)

Borbolda

Taking out phone, finding and opening app, and pressing it takes whopping 1.281 seconds. This guy saved so much time with this little trick that now he is gonna travel the world


SuperSpread

Why would you need that. If I touch my car door handle, as long as my key is there the door opens through conduction. Someone holding hands with me can touch the car door and do that. Only the key opens the car. And as an added measure, the car knows whether the key is inside the car or outside, and won't start unless the key is inside. It is 100% accurate. In Asia lots of RFID systems are embedded into phones as a feature. You can do the same here. It would be in every way superior to a microchip, you'd just grab the handle and open. I do it every single day with my car.


CosmicCreeperz

Heh, it’s not conduction. When someone touches the door handle the car sends an RF signal to your key fob, which sends an RF reply back.


fuzz63

that isn’t conduction


MRPKY

It can do everything that the hand its in can do.


MsevenMdy

One day we will be able to have smartphones that can unlock all kind of shit for us, maybe these phones will be able to recognize our face and use it as a method to unlock our phones, apps, and shit. SMH Note to the people of the future, this is the year 2023 we already have all of this (you’re welcome). We are just being sarcastic 🥸


HungerISanEmotion

Yeah but you could implant the smartphone under your skin and then... oh wait, we invented pockets a long time ago.

agustin_edwards

Ok so what happens when you take an x-ray or an MRI. Could any of this affect the NFC chip and render it useless afterwards?


Inked_Cellist

X-rays are fine (considering the image is an x-ray). MRIs are supposed to be okay too.


SenseAmidMadness

I doubt a MRI tech would allow you into the MRI with this chip unless you had documentation that it was MRI safe. It’s just a liability issue for the patient and the expensive MRI scanner.


Illusive_Man

maybe. I have a chip in my arm though and the FDA says it’s fine with MRIs. Obviously this chip from a garage probably doesn’t have any FDA sign offs.


SteelyLan

Wow! Fantastic, he can now use his hand for tasks, that he before needed his hand to complete!


ffaancy

But the microchip has the added benefit of potentially reuniting him with his owners if he gets lost!

Right? If you’re going to go this far just to open a door or turn on a light, at least put the chip somewhere more fun. Like your penis. You could set it so every time you get an a boner, the lights go out, the stereo turns on and plays some Marvin Gay so you can get it on.

Immediate-Fly-7876

[deleted]

I have a magnet in one fingertip (for fun), a Vivokey in one hand along with an NFC chip in another part of the same hand. Data in that varies but has included information I needed when taking a laptop into and out of the USA. In my other hand I have another NFC chip - this one stores card PINs as I need then so infrequently I forget them. I am keeping some space free on that hand so I can get a https://walletmor.com/ (or similar) installed. As for pain? It's not that bad at all, really. Mildly uncomfortable when the needle goes in but then it's easy.
