FULL SUMMARY:
In chapter 24, titled "Biohacking," Greg becomes increasingly alarmed as he uncovers the contents of the second package. His unease grows when he finds an electronic chip enveloped in plastic labeled "xNT NFC Tag," two packs of alcohol wipes, sterile gauze for wound care, plaster, plastic gloves, and an ominous looking plastic injection device. Checking the sender's website, www.dangerousthings.com, introduces him to the world of biohacking, transponders, and biomagnets. The photos on the site reveal that the chip he has is meant to be implanted into one's body. The information provided educates Greg about RFID, Radio Frequency Identification, and a community known as 'grinders' who frequently experiment with biohacking technology. Overwhelmed yet intrigued, Greg pieced together that once the transponder is planted in him, it would enable an electronic lock to identify him – rendering keys unnecessary. He experiments with the transponder unsuccessfully trying to unlock the secured laptop. Despite his initial refusal, Greg's interaction with Xander forces him to consider biohacking to win his trust. Greg agrees to implant the transponder once he envisions a plan involving his friend, Chloe. Unbeknownst to her, she is pivotal for executing this plan. Despite the implicit dangers and personal apprehensions, Greg takes a deep breath ready to deal with the terrifying prospect of becoming a biohack guinea pig, heralding a nerve-wracking turn of events in the story.

Greg besoek die webwerf van die zijn afkomstig is, Dangerous Things, waar hy lees oor biohacking - 'n terme vir die manipulasie van een se eie biologie met tegnologie. Die konsep skok Greg aanvanklik, maar hy besef dat die NFC-tag in sy hand sy lewe kan vergemaklik deur die vervange van sleutels en kredietkaarte. Hy probeer om die tag met die spesiale laptop te gebruik wat sy deur Xander ontvang, maar dit werk nie. Xander stuur 'n boodskap wat hom instrueer om die tag in sy hand te plaas by 'n tatoeëerder as bewys van sy vertroue. Greg weier aanvanklik, maar besef dat om saam met Xander te werk, hy sal moet voldoen aan die versoek. Greg is onwillig en beraadslag oor die moontlikheid om die tag te plant, voor hy besluit om sy bure, Chloe, te betrek in sy plan.
