The chapters on handling bio... stuff ended up to be more of an ethical discussion more than a practical discussion (for instance: at what point are we willing to stop brain-computer interfaces? Helping paralyzed people is laudable, but at some point *some* trader is going to use it to make quicker decisions and have an edge over his competitors/complete monopoly over the market).
