wired.com Emily Mullin 2025-10-28 11:00:00

In a policy document released this month, China has signaled its ambition to become a world leader in brain-computer interfaces, the same technology that Elon Musk’s Neuralink and other US startups are developing.

The new Toxic Avenger finally hits theaters this week after a few years’ delay, and while audiences are in for a wild ride with the movie’s hilariously gross tale of mutation and redemption, the movie does also tackle more serious themes.

Now, the film is applying some real-world activism to that unfortunately re
