    A more sinister example was Repo Men. In that movie, the tech still worked, but people were no longer able to keep up with the extortionate payments that came with the implant.

      I always bring up that movie and “Otherlife” when I rant about the importance of open source.

          I mean it’s the same plot as repo: the genetic opera, genetic opera is just set to music. They grow artificial organs, sell em, and If you can’t afford to pay, they repo them. Paris Hilton gets her face ripped off. It’s great.

            I love how this was somehow both the next line of the song AND snarkily correcting their spelling.
