i dont know that an exoskeleton is boring or dystopian.
it's not about the exoskeleton, but that the fact that the guy was forced unable to use it and left paralyzed for two months because the manufacturer refused to give him a $20 replacement battery for the remote, making the $100k exoskeleton a brick. If it wasn't for the media outrage, he would still be paralyzed in a bed waiting for someone to carry him around with a wheelchair
