A lot of emphasis on neuromamcer was on punk, you know, from cyber punk. 70s punk, dirty, scraggy, poor, filth. This part is omitted in a lot of later Cyberpunk.

The parts where megacorps are running the world, including militech, resonates, but of course the implementation differences are numerous.
