The integrated experience is controlled by the Aspire Corporation, cooperating with a federal government that now mandates everyone have the technology implanted.

In 'Nano' a hacker named Zolee (Brooke Butler) makes contact with a police officer (Sebastian Vallentin Stenhøj) to try to thwart the oncoming Nano 2.0 rollout. One of the key features of the new version of Nano is known as, remote paralysis. "Remote paralysis is changing the way that America does law enforcement," states a talking head in the film.
