A pair of wealthy Americans are looking for brain implants on the black market that will allow them to communicate with each other using the power of thought.
That's according to presidential candidate Zoltan Istvan who believe that in a few decades, we could all be plugged into an AI 'matrix'.
'Eventually, this type of technology will allow us to be connected 24/7 to the internet and on social media,' he told the DailyMail.com.
'This is the beginning of the hive mind, where everyone is interconnected to one another.'
Istvan, leads the Transhumanist party, which believes that technology has the power to achieve immortality and physical perfection.
He revealed to the Mirror that two men are currently trying to find a doctor willing to perform the dangerous procedure.
One of the pair will go to a doctor in Honduras, whilst the other will journey to Eastern Europe, Istvan said.
They have been planning the trip for three years.
However, he has not named the men, for fear they may be stopped from travelling aboard to undergo surgery.
And despite the risks, such procedures on the black market may become more popular.
'This practice is very new, but nearly all biohackers have shown interest in brain implants and neuroprosthetics,' Istvan said.
