William Gibson 40 years ago:

"M-G employees above a certain level were implanted with advanced microprocessors that monitored mutagen levels in the bloodstream. Gear like that would get you rolled in Night City, rolled straight into a black clinic."

PS M-G refers to Mitsubishi-Genentech

On an unrelated note, I wish that author's who aren't Gibson would write novels set in Night City. I love Gibson, but often find his stuff hard to follow, and would love an escapist level novel set in a Gibsonian setting.

You may be interested in some of the source books for the Cyberpunk RPG. A lot of the game occurs in Night City, which isn’t exactly Gibson’s but heavily inspired by it. Just about all the books have great narratives to set the tone.
