Idle thought:
Cyberpunk narratives that paint body-modification as a negative thing because of "loss of humanity", are subtly transphobic because they associate essence with the physical body. That to modify the body is to negatively modify the mind.
It also presumes that to become less human is to also become less empathetic, whereas a person should be allowed to be non-human, or maybe even not a "person", without losing empathy and sapience.

Me Later: "Okay so I did it right this time and the tropics are still huge but it's like that on the real world in most map projections."
Me Later: "Spheres are WEIRD and so are planets but at least I know people in this empire are wearing shorts."
