Most of the human genome doesn't express as proteins, so there should be lots of room to store stuff.
Such technology is hardly science fiction, it's even FDA approved!

The idea of posthuman came up (yes it was me) in another thread. This article https://www.nature.com/articles/s41589-020-00711-4 opens an interesting door: "reprogramming" DNA by inserting new data into living DNA. After all a program is just another form of data. This might be orthogonal to genetic (re)engineering.
