These early adopters found out what happened when a cutting-edge marvel became an obsolete gadget… inside their bodies.

This was the plot line to the movie Robots. The solution was socialized medicine.
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.
Wait is that a different movie than repo: the genetic opera?
It’s gotta be one of these two.
I’m sure of it. 😅
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.
Zydrate comes in a little glass vial
😂 I’m not sure if that’s enough to make me want to see it, but it’s a big selling point!
It’s a wild ride for sure
Ordinary fuckin’ people
Lol, I thought it was Eminem in the second poster.

A little glass vial?
I love how this was somehow both the next line of the song AND snarkily correcting their spelling.
Lmao to be fair it was mostly to continue the song, but I did notice that XD
Yeah no wonder that was only in a sci fi movie, that really just sounds too unrealistic.
Fuck me I haven’t watched that in some time…time for a rewatch
