Amped (amplified humans of the near-future)

[the asinine cretin]

The sci-fi novel: Amped, by Daniel H. Wilson

"As he did in Robopocalypse, Daniel Wilson masterfully envisions a frightening near-future world. In Amped, people are implanted with a device that makes them capable of superhuman feats. The powerful technology has profound consequences for society, and soon a set of laws is passed that restricts the abilities—and rights—of "amplified" humans. On the day that the Supreme Court passes the first of these laws, twenty-nine-year-old Owen Gray joins the ranks of a new persecuted underclass known as "amps." Owen is forced to go on the run, desperate to reach an outpost in Oklahoma where, it is rumored, a group of the most enhanced amps may be about to change the world—or destroy it. . ."

 

 

A very brief convo wit the author.

 

 

 

 

Why I am posting this? Because I think there is something pretty plausible about the main premise. Thoughts?

 

In particular, how realistic is the idea of a neural auto-focus implant?
