going even more off topic,
I liked the Deus Ex Machina computer games a lot as well for the
SF/cyberpunk ideas in them,
nothing really original when you're using to reading those kind of
books, but it's kinda cool to be able to use illegal black market
biomods on your character to turn her (yes, it was a a girl, somehow I
enjoy that more...) into a stealthy catlike assasin with nightvision
