a fun side-effect of this being an unofficial mod is that none of the characters comment on any of the other characters being animals, which adds to the flavor of this just being a thing that people can do with their bodies.

in this future, we will be animals.

Honestly, even if biomodding never gets to that point, there's a lot of extremely promising stuff regarding "top-down" VR integration (the sense of inhabitating your avatar being derived from it's responsiveness to your motions.) It's kind of fucking wild. Turns out we don't necessarily need all that "bottom-up" neural integration to get our nervous system to act like it's shaped differently.

In VR labs with way more sophisticated setups than consumer-grade VR, they've seen people able to almost entirely reconfigure their internal map of their body in like the span of an hour to control avatars with completely nonhuman morphology like a lobster. On top of that, doing experiments similar to the "hammer smashing a fake hand" trick seems to indicate that people in general really do seem to feel like their tail or extra limbs or wings "belong" to them and feel protective of them instinctively once they get so attuned with it.

So who knows, maybe at least a semblance of the experience is within our reach.
