Nano-Augmentation

Nano-Agumentation was a highly controversial and experimental evolution in cybernetics that saw the usual implants-and-prosthetics method of augmentation replaced with the new paradigm of "infection" of the host body with nanomachines, which rose to prominence in the Corporate Wars. The process was controversial for a number of reasons, in part because the Megacorporations were divided on how to address the technology. In people without High Compatibility Interferon Variance or similar genetic mutations, their body would go into Nanite Anaphylaxis without the use of heavy immunosuppressants, which itself caused other issues. Additionally, several other abuses of nanite technology like the Dissolution of Rome lead to a general fear of the entire technological domain.
