NOLAND ARBAUGH SITS – always, he sits – in the kitchen of the ranch house on the sandy road in the sandy town of Yuma, Arizona, where he has lived since he was three years old. He lived here until he was 18 and went off to college at Texas A&M, and he swore he’d never live here again. He loves his parents – his mum, Mia, who raised five kids in this house, and his dad, David, who’s technically Noland’s stepfather, but he’s his dad.

After a catastrophic accident, life as Noland Arbaugh knew it became a distant memory. Then came Neuralink, the Elon Musk–owned neurotechnology company that could transform how he engaged with the world. Noland Arbaugh sits – always, he sits – in the kitchen of the ranch house on the sandy road in the sandy town of Yuma, Arizona, where he has lived since he was three years old. He lived here until he was 18 and went off to college at Texas A&M, and he swore he’d never live here again.
