Oh that sounds interesting. Thank you! I’ll look into it!
you could also read Burning Chrome...
Added to the list. Thanks! I love book suggestions.
Burning Chrome is normally published as a collection of a few short stories (burning chrome is one story in the collection). There is an assassin that uses monofillimant wire somewhere in one of the stories.
William Gibson, who coined the term "cyberspace" in Burning Chrome, is generally regarded as the pioneer of cyberpunk
Awesome! I hadn’t know that. Relatively new to the cyberpunk mythos. Haven’t even seen the Edgerunner series yet as I’m not that into anime. But so far I’m really liking the game.
Not much of a gun person at all, so that’s why I went with the monowire and a knife as a sidearm. Doing a pacifist run as a nomad. Pretty happy with it thus far as I’ve managed to get though the entirety of act 1 without killing anyone. Even during the heist. And only knocked out a small handful of people that were absolutely necessary in order to get by.
I think during The Heist, I managed to get though it without knocking out a single person. Just sneaking past. Then I got my monowire at level 10 at the beginning of Act II.
So far I have done 5 of the gigs in Watson without killing or knocking out anyone, including Monster Hunt. Went in, extracted Jotero, and got out. No desths- unnoticed.
