I've read the main book, the threads here, and I'm mildly interested in Emergence, but I still don't quite 'get' them. Oh, I understand how they work and all, but I'm not quite sure what they're for. They're like hackers, but with the disadvantages of mages (karma sink, can't use cyber without weakening themselves, etc.) But I don't really understand what it is that they excel at. Is it basically just like having a hacker that's undetectable? That's interesting, I suppose, but I was hoping there was more to it than that.
