What if Statement
What if the earth no longer had a magnetosphere?

Project Description
In order to make the surface of the earth safe for human life I have created a medical implant that will shield users from cosmic radiation that at one time was deflected by the magnetosphere. The implant and the accompanying instruction card sympathetically joins the form and functionality of a medical implement with a design style that speaks to the conditions of a world without a magnetosphere.
