@noelle I'd wonder whether it winds up being purpose driven. Cyberpunk implies dystopias; "I augment myself because it's cool and makes me feel whole" is positive, but what about becoming more and more mechanistic simply to scrape by? Then there's all the capitalist elitism.
A little like how cell phones are theoretically awesome but now we're all required to have one, required to put other peoples' programs on ours for work, God knows who might be using 'em to snoop on us etc.
@Leucrotta I'm reviewing "AD Police" right now and this plot point struck me: "Caroline explains that ... she had been competing for CEO of her current company, however a man got the job because he concocted a falsified chart that compared her menstrual cycles to her productivity. To alleviate the concerns of the company's board of directors, she had most all of her female organs replaced with cybernetic versions. There no longer being any reason to keep her from becoming CEO, she got the job."
