modern corporate-sponsored cyberpunk stories are like 'every time you augment your body you lose a little bit of your soul.'

But the original spirit was more 'these augments are awesome but leave you at the mercy of faceless mega corporations that we should fight with every fiber of our beings.'

as in 'mechanical eyes that let the blind see are amazing right up until you have to pay amazon $150/month so you can see the color blue.'

@Subrote I've been frustrated with some cyberpunk-derived games that don't seem to get the original point. The punks are people who survive against the odds in a hostile world. "The street finds its own uses for things."
