I've been ready to completely swap my body for a fully cybernetic shell ala Ghost in the Shell since, well, Ghost in the Shell.
So did I. But after the new Deus Ex games and looking at the real tech scene evolve recently, I'm feeling more and more that just maybe Togusa had the right idea staying natural.
Say what you will about his lack of robot body; but if had been using a normal automatic instead of an old school revolver, he could have put two trackers on the suspect.
Deus Ex is fantastic. Does a great job of depicting potential future problems with human augmentation.
