The article (Wikipedia Shadowrun Article) states that some people feel that there are too many restrictions on cyberware, even though cyberware is a HUGE staple of cyberpunk. Never mind that noone in the original Sprawl trilogy and Burning Chrome had anything more drastic than a datajack, mirrorshades, and MAYBE fingernail razors. Most of the modifications were biological. My feeling on the essence system is that it codifies many underlying themes in Gibson, namely the inevitable significance and importance of the body despite numerous attempts to modify or control it artificially. What do you think?
