cyberpunk tech politics thought 

bad: cyberpunk using the idea of technological body modifications as a means to express anxiety about new technologies pervading every aspect of our life through body horror tropes

good: cyberpunk using body modification as an in-universe justification for representing identities like disability and furry physically in the bodies of the cast

also good: cyberpunk using gatekeeping of access to, incorporation of adware into, and risk of security holes within technological body modifications to represent the power differential between the people who profit off of a technology and the people who are dependent on it
