Johnny Mnemonic, Information Overload and Parkinson's Delusions
The 1995 film *Johnny Mnemonic* is revisited for its depiction of "Nerve Attenuation Syndrome" (NAS) caused by information overload. The host notes the coincidence of receiving an ad for Nuplazid, a drug for Parkinson's-related delusions, after watching the movie. The film, set in 2021, also features a "Thompson iPhone," predating the actual Apple product by over a decade.
