Author Commentary
This is meant to be silly.
Realism
This is far from realistic for a lot of obvious reasons. However, it does connect to the theme of “BCI Paranoia” in which people believe that there’s a BCI in their head controlling their thoughts or actions involuntarily. Many of us in BCI-land get contacted by such people and it’s worrisome.
Hope
As a clearly silly story, hope is hard to interpret. One character thinks there’s a master plan that implies a conflict between humans and robots, but that character is also apparently insane.
