SIMlike

SIMlike is a type of digital implant, similar to the fictional brain-computer interface from the work of science fiction writer Philip K. Dick's novel "A Scanner Darkly".

The concept of SIMlike involves the implantation of a computer chip or device into the human brain, which allows for direct neural communication between the human mind and the digital world. In the novel, the SIMlike device is portrayed as a way for users to experience a virtual reality simulation of the world, while the user's brain is simultaneously copied to backup, protecting their memories and experiences with the usage of the device.

Security and user data management are considered important aspects in the concept of SIMlike, as the user's ability to access their data and ESC ( exit or delete) the device's backup can provide an individual level of control to the functionality and necessity of the device's presence within the system.

Social implications of the SIMlike technology are open to interpretation, with the benefits of data preservation and user control being contrasted with the risks of digitization and control of individuals using the SIMlike technology.
