Probably revealing my geek card here, but one of my favourite books of all time is Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson. This book was written in the 80’s and came up with such crazy concepts as avatars, Second Life-esque software and Google Earth.

One thing in the book that seemed completely outrageous to me was bionic dogs. In the book a company took in abandonded dogs from the SPCA and used their brains and part of their bodies to create super robot dogs. Pretty hard to believe right?

Boston Dynamics is working on a mechanical dog that is 100% next level. Check out the part when it walks on the ice. As soon as this thing becomes self-aware, we’re all fucked.
