Haven't read that, but was impressed by the fictional all pervasive biological neural network in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fictional_universe_of_Avatar#Pand

  If you can gain access to a Vision Pro to watch "Avatar: The Way of Water" in 3D, you'll find it totally absorbing and amazing.

    Hrrm. I watched it in 2D, and was very tempted to skip/FF. Was boring for me, compared to the original. Just more of the not so same, with maybe better FX, sometimes. edit: To expand on that, from memory, the original had for me fucked up cyperpunkish earth, somewhat realistic spaceships/travel, heayv mining industry, cynical execs and military, nerdy techs and scientists. Compared to most of what else streams over the screens nowadays, it was almost HARD-SF. I like that. The Way of Water had much less of that, instead more tribalism, maybe some wokery. I don't give a shit about that. (While I'm at it, the pre-prequel to the Alien-franchise "Alien Earth" with six episodes out ATM has much of that cyberpunkish flair, and is at least slightly more than just 'so-so'.)

      I say again: 3D takes it to... another dimension

        Hrrmph. I wanted to counter that with: "But I don't do Apple!1!!" After seeing the resolution per eye that is really tempting. Guess I'm having to wait for some other device reaching that, without having to buy into that ecosystem. Something which I can just plug into some of my Linux boxen, without any further hassle ;->
