Jacqui:-
And I suppose there are not a lot of stories you can do with limters Any advances on a) They have them b) They go wrong (as in B7?)
c) You dope your friend/enemy and for dubious reasons fit one when they sleep, but don't tell them and they discover at an inopportune moment. Much getting done over psychological angst. d) you explore the life of the creator/ control systems of them (what was the dream of the creator and why it all went wrong or indeed, right - variation on chemical castration?) e) you find a way of tapping into them to control people in other ways, creating a mutoid-plus genre. Mutoids that argue but are forced to comply anyway?
which might all be variations on a) and b)...
