Abstract
In a world where body enhancement technology, or "cybernetics," should allow for exponential human progress, the gap between social classes is as wide as ever. A team of cybernetic bootleggers seek to even this playing field by providing low-cost implants to the working poor. Their operation becomes threatened when other underworld groups begin to raise police suspicions, but in this world, the cops may be more corrupt than the criminals. It is up to the team to expose the threat to their business, stay under the radar of the law, and risk their own futures in order to preserve their mission of making life-changing technology accessible to all.
