Funny how some of the issues raised in Shadowrun have become unlikely since the game's inception (the supremacy and ubiquitousness of Japanese industry, the relevance of industrial music) while others are more real than ever (private police forces, multinational corporations involved in public legislation, concentration of media ownership, etc.). It's a big part of what I love about this game. :)
