Haha that came outta left field, but I'm into futuristic fashion, specifically cyberpunk fashion: https://www.jilanico.com
What you're describing is more biopunk or solarpunk tho. This article might provide some inspo: https://nextnature.net/story/2019/bio-textiles
Thanks for the kind words <3
Thanks for that awesome reference. I had no idea things had already gotten that far. I'm going further into bio compute, post scarcity, kilometers scale self replicating drones, and several space colonies in a strictly hard science fiction context. So no FTL, aliens, or exceptionalism/hero stories; just boring stuff like me. Mostly I'm flipping the AI situation to take away the killer machine gods trope and put them in biological parity with humans then basically asking a lot of questions by letting them play out circumstantially.
What got you into the whole wearables thing? I etch my own circuits and do Arduino like designs from time to time.

Don't know what got me into it. Probably consuming a lot of cyberpunk media growing up. I've played with Arduino too, but haven't etched my own circuits yet :)
