Explaining a vision of human augmentation technology can be...complicated.

It’s always fun to check in with the people that are doing REALLY difficult pitches, so we brought Ryan O’Shea, spokesperson for Grindhouse Wetware and the host of the Future Grind podcast (futuregrind.org) to come in and talk about ideas like human augmentation, implantable tech and biohacking.  Ryan and Scot spend considerable time deconstructing the various things that make these ideas icky and foreign, despite their promise, and examine the ways that a product concept can move from being scary and foreign to being accepted and even ubiquitous.
