...er, what?

I can't think of any movies offhand, but it's a premise of "Earth: Final Conflict" and "V".

I think it might have figured into the sequel to Battlefield Earth if it hadn't been so awful that even Scientologists couldn't get the sequel greenlit. But it's been a while since I've read the book.

Anyway...

Why would he need a book about learning the ukelele when he has cool internet glasses to teach him?

Better yet, just pay some other guy who can alredy play the ukulele to put the glasses on and let the girlfriend think it's him.

That's neat, but it's short-term thinking.
Why convert electronic data to light and then back into electronic neurotransmitters?

Long-term thinking... retina implants... electronic to neuro... in one step

Why risk the retina? USB port connecting straight to the frontal lobes.
