Considering that Musk and others want everyone to have neural implants, it is easy to see the potential dystopia this could lead to.
Military-Funded Study Successfully Tests 'Prosthetic Memory' Brain Implants
Scientists tested a brain implant that replicates short-term recall in patients with memory loss. It may have actually worked.
Neural prosthetic device can help humans restore memory
A team of scientists have demonstrated the first successful use of a neural prosthetic device to recall specific memories.

Controversial AI prison tech sees inmates serving out sentences in just minutes
A Dubai-based biotechnologist has come up with a bizarre new way to punish criminals that completley bypasses the prison system - and it looks like something from a sci-fi film.
Scientist wants to implant prisoners with 'memories' of their crimes
A molecular scientist has unveiled a 'prison of the future' that he claimed will lead to criminals being released in just minutes, compared to years or decades.
Considering that Musk and others want everyone to have neural implants, it is easy to see the potential dystopia this could lead to.
