Neural-Linked

A character or entity whose consciousness is directly interfaced with cybernetic technology, digital media, or collective neural networks.

The thrill of shared consciousness, of minds linked in a vast network, experiencing thoughts and sensations as one. The loss of individual self into a greater whole, a merging of identities that transcends personal limits.
