In 2011, Chevron filed a civil RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act) suit against Donziger in New York City, accusing him of bribing an Ecuadorean judge, ghostwriting the damages judgment against it, and “fixing” scientific studies.[34][22][26] Chevron’s civil suit initially sought $60 billion in damages which would have required a trial by jury. Chevron removed the request for damages two weeks prior to trial, allowing the case to be tried by judge alone. Chevron stated that it wanted to focus “the RICO case on obtaining injunctive relief against the furtherance of Donziger’s extortionate scheme against the company”. US District Judge Lewis A. Kaplan was assigned as the judge.[22]
We have all the negatives but none of the positives. No implants that would make our jobs or lives easier. No perfect memory recall. Just eternal debt and struggle to survive in techno-feudalism.
My guy, you’re not supposed to have that stuff. You’re a poor.
You’re not supposed to “want” cyberpunk for the positives. The point of cyberpunk is that having a cure for blindness is only great if your eyeballs aren’t proprietary and rented from a corporation

We live in a cyberpunk world already.

Yeah but… I could have a tail and an arm that hides a big gun.
