Well, you asked for it :)

In your future, are there any cybernetic implants? Obviously we didn't go the way of the BORG (star trek), but perhaps some simple things such as cyber links for vehicles (hover bikes in particular). I use the word "simple" there with a touch of sarcasm.

I like the idea of a future without intrusive human technology. But given the world you have presented us, it seems somewhat strange that there would be no avid technology lovers willing to have at least a "cred stick" ala the Shadow run Universe added to there everyday life.

Of all the concepts that you have revealed so far, this is the only one that I found to be notably absent. I could have simply played to much Cyber Punk and Shadow Run though :)

As always, the story is going great, can't wait for the next installment. I had been out of town for a while, so it was a very pleasant surprise to come back and find several folios waiting for my avid perusal.
