Caganer posted:I guess the fact that it’s the state and not individuals who “press charges” has been forgotten in our cyberpunk future. Think they explain this in the book in that the people in the clinic were property, so the clinic not pressing charges means the cops can't do anything.

Ugly In The Morning posted:Yeah, in book 2 Kovacs is super hosed up by rad poisoning and goes six kinds of apeshit on some mooks while in the hospital mobility suit they have him in. Not to mention that the sleeve he was in was specifically made for high radiation areas, like humanity has found a way to slow down the ravages of nuclear weapons on the human form.

Yeah the Envoys are not good people. They are government sanctioned psyop agents meant to get the job done no matter what. Everyone and everything is a tool for them to use. Kovacs is not really meant to be a hero, he is just our guide in a universe that is redefining what it means to be human.

Which is kind of terrifying to think that they erased that much of their personalities that only the Envoy way of looking at things is left.

I read it as that common areas of failure in a normal human body were either replaced or enhanced in some way to make the sleeve far more durable. The recabled bit though does seem to be just jargon unless they added actual synthetic muscle fibers/tendons.
