Lepht Anonym
Description
Lepht Anonym is a bio-hacker based in Berlin who performs surgeries on herself to turn herself into a cyborg. Fed up with the abstract idealism of the Transhumanism movement, she implants different types of sensors in her body to develop new senses. She does all of her surgeries without anesthesia and uses her own body as the test dummy, but has successfully given herself additional senses that no other human in history have experienced. She started with RFID implants, the same type that are implanted in pets, to be able to unlock her computer and other devices. She later moved to implanting neodymium metal disks in her fingertips that allow her to sense the shape and strength of electro-magnetic fields (which are given off by power cords, magnets, and electric devices). She is currently working on a project called "Southpaw", a device in her knee which would allow her to always sense magnetic north. It is based a external ankle device of the same function, "Northpaw", created by the bio-hacking group Sensebridge.
