EMP Threading is a fashionware in Cyberpunk.
Overview[]
EMP Threading first appeared in the last stretch of the Time of the Red, popularized by the media sensation UR. Although not scientifically confirmed, at that time many people believed it acted as a Faraday cage, providing protection from electromagnetic interference from implanted cyberware and radiation. Most people wore it as a fashion statement.[1][2]
Many people in the 2070s still fashioned and wore EMP Threading.[3][4]
