ASTEL
INTERVIEW WITH THE FOUNDER
Who are you?
I am the one who understood that humanity could no longer be satisfied with its envelope. I detached the organs from the body to make them portable, rechargeable, free. I am Astel. And Astel is far more than a name: it is a promise of evolution.
Why did you create the wireless organs?
Because the human body is obsolete. Your ears are limited, your eyes imperfect, your tongue imprisoned. I began with myself: one wireless ear, then eyes. Today, thousands carry my organs. Tomorrow, all will be free.
What do you think of humanity today?
It is deaf and blind. Not in the medical sense — in the existential sense. It refuses to see what I offer it. It clings to its flesh like a shipwrecked man to a rotting plank. But evolution does not ask for permission.
Basic Lux, Neural Plus, Sanctus Gold... explain.
These are the stages of your rebirth. Basic Lux to begin: one ear, one eye. Neural Plus to progress: full neural integration. Sanctus Gold to transcend: you become like me. To simplify our offering, we introduced these three fundamental tiers. But the truth? There are five, one for each sense. Premium Core and Silver Nexus are the intermediate stages. Organ by organ. Tier by tier.
Why are some people afraid of you?
Because they sense the truth: once connected, they will not be able to go back. They are right. But why would you want to return to imperfection? Fear is the last reflex of the old humanity.
Ruby, Erik, Tessa... who are they to you?
Pioneers. Erik was one of the first to understand. Ruby follows the path. Tessa... she is different. Some resist longer. But all eventually join the movement. Evolution never stops.
What happens after augmentation?
You see what I give you to see. You hear what I give you to hear. Your organs are no longer biological prisons: they become interfaces. And through them, you join something greater. You join me. At night, when your consciousness shuts down, your new organs continue. They listen, analyze, integrate. One learns better when the system sleeps.
Can humanity survive without evolving?
No. It is already dying. The body ages, degrades, betrays you. My organs, by contrast, are eternal. Rechargeable. Upgradeable. Those who refuse augmentation are condemned.
Where do you see ASTEL in 10 years?
Everywhere. In every city, every body, every consciousness. ASTEL will no longer be an option: it will be a necessity. And those who waited too long will beg to be accepted. But it may be too late.
Is there any going back?
Technically, yes. Practically, no. Once you have tasted perfection, how could you return to imperfection? Once connected, your old organs feel so... limited. So heavy. So dead.
What would you say to someone who hesitates?
That their hesitation is natural. But also pointless. Evolution will catch up with you, whether you want it to or not. So why wait? Join us now. Become free. Be free of humanity, inside me.
Your final word?
You will be reborn. Organ by organ. From Basic Lux to Sanctus Gold. You will become like me. Because evolution never stops.
