"I wrote many novels which … contained the element of the projected collective unconscious, which made them simply incomprehensible to anyone who read them, because they required the reader to accept my premise that each of us lives in a unique world."
- Philip K. Dick

Retinal Implant  
  An implanted device that can record and transmit what the person sees.  

"Recording and relaying, Chief," Finnuala said with a hint of triumph. Her eyes with their retinal implants were unblinking as they tracked him. "And I don't need to tell you this is a public building. Knowing what happens here is a public right under the fourth coronation proclamation."
Technovelgy from The Neutronium Alchemist, by Peter F. Hamilton.
Published by Macmillan Publishers in 1997
