When a certain character in the game dies because they’re still loaded into the Net at the moment when someone disconnects the jack, it kinda reminds me of IRL USB devices, where failing to dismount/eject them on the computer before physically removing them can cause problems, especially for the USB device. It almost feels like bait for a dark joke.

What are some other touches of bizarre realism in the electronics of Cyberpunk?

    No specific examples, but IoT (internet of things) really got mainstream in cyberpunk’s electronics.

    Especially the sarcastic line thrown around internet

    The “s” in IoT means security

    Literally everything is hackable by anyone, zero security on any device.
