Trade Your Brain for Virtual Reality

An interesting concept in the book “Blindsight”: people can give their brain for virtual reality.

🤔 Are you ready to give up your brain's computing power in exchange for sleep, where you can be anyone and do anything?

An interesting concept in the book “Blindsight”:

Year 2082. People who are tired of life and have lost motivation can sign a contract with the government and give their brain, which will be used to increase the computing power of a giant computer. The body, which is in an artificial coma, is taken care of - nutrition is provided, and indicators are monitored.

As payment - a connection to virtual reality, where you can be anyone and do anything.

In virtual reality, people can communicate with each other, and their relatives can video call them.

P.S. By the way, the book is really cool!
