Herzog's Web

摘要

Unceremoniously named Exoskeleton Prototype 3, the device is designed to serve as a "human amplifier," a tool that responds to neural impulses in a pilot's skin to reinforce natural arm movements. Herzog nods at the machinery before a guide moves him along, continuing an impromptu tour of the engineering department. It's hard to tell if he's impressed. The exoskeleton is the kind of invention that promises a magnificent cyborg future, a time when humans will interact with machines as seamlessly as they use their own limbs; but here, under the unforgiving fluorescent lights, it already looks like a relic, an artifact tossed into a future civilization's storage unit and forgotten.
