A very impressive story. You have eloquently described sensations that are far beyond the experience of anyone living today - which is exactly what good SF is supposed to do. It reminds us that neural link-ups could turn out to be utterly alien experiences (by todays standards) unlike anything in human history. If a person has been blind since birth and suddenly could see for the first time ever, how would the conscious mind interpret the initial flood of alien sensation? I feel that is the kind of paradigm shift awaiting our descendants, and you have given us a glimpse of what that might be like.
