Risto was commissioned to make a cover and inside illustration for the main topic of the magazine about the hacking of the human brain. Neuralink – a company founded by Elon Musk which works on brain enhancement tools, created a system of reading, downloading and manipulating the way human brain could work. Super thin threads would be implanted into the brain and could read the brain signals.
