For the Hawthorn Initiative, augmenting a child is a two-stage process. First, the genetic makeup of the embryo is painstakingly gene-fixed: even without further modification, the resulting child would be healthier and more capable than an ordinary person. And secondly, the foetus – raised in an exo womb – is bonded to a nanorobot hive colony. At every stage of development, these tiny machines work tirelessly to reconfigure, modify, augment, and upgrade every part of the child’s physiology during their growth. 

With the child receiving patches OS updates and upgrades to their hive like other children receive vaccines it rapidly, it becomes almost impossible to tell the difference between man and machine: the point where biology ends, and technology begins. The result is a synthesis of the organic and artificial - something that is undoubtable human, but capable of so much more.
