  I think the story neuromancer had workers who would show up have their brain chip turn them into meat puppets for 8 hours then they would wake up not knowing what they had done to earn their checks. It was a cheap labor scheme for day workers or prostitutes. I still think that’s really the capitalist goal.

    Is this Severance or are you talking about something else?

      Something else, very similar motif. It’s a sci-fi pulp novel.
