He thinks Nexus should be available to everyone, although he's worried that some users (and some governments) will abuse it. Kaden Lane is one of a select group of people who, in addition to researching Nexus, is permanently infected with it.

It means your intelligence is vastly superior to that of mere humans. It means your mind can network with those of other posthumans. ![]() ![]() What does it mean to be posthuman? It means with the right software, you can fight like Bruce Lee and perform like Peter North. Published by Angry Robot on December 18, 2012 ![]()
