A while ago I attended an exhibit exploring the work of David Cronenberg. That visit included a tour of BMC Labs, after which I engaged in the experience of personalizing my own pod (a biotech enhancement) for brainstem implantation.
At its core a series of psychological profiling questions, the customization process was dressed up with audiovisual clips and social media interactions for an unsettling, emotional, but also weirdly satisfying narrative exercise.
Once calibrated according to my personality, the pod was brought to maturity in optimal lab conditions.
The implantation ceremony was held a few weeks ago. I was unable to attend, but it's been reported on at Fangoria.
My own pod is being delivered to me by mail.
