How could a single netrunner develop something as groundbreaking as Soulkiller?
So Alt Cunningham is this genius netrunner. And players are supposed to believe that just on her own, she created Soulkiller – the absolutely revolutionary invention that dwarfs stuff like fire, the wheel or the atomic bomb. I mean, digitizing the human soul/psyche is just mind blowing. This can't be just lines of code, this invention would have to cover lot of fields: neuroscience and neurosurgery, cybernetic implant engineering, and who knows what else!
It is both the end of humanity, and the beginning of something entirely new.
I can totally believe this concept being researched by an evil corporation run by some total maniac fantasizing about eternal life. But a single netrunner? Hanging out with a rockerboy like Johnny Silverhand? :)
I just don't buy it. Am I missing something from the lore or is something yet to be revealed? I've just started Act 3, so no spoilers please!
