These gus bring up a good point. GitS is a world where technology is ubiquitous, but what about when only a few can have it?
Marvel comics has sort of thrashed this idea around for several years. Their take on it is that "regular" humans don't like/trust meta-humans. And in Marvel, the regular humans are in charge and try to drive out the improved versions.
Movies like GATTICA hit it from the other side - after the technology is commonplace, but before it is everywhere. The modified humans restrict the regular humans.
This comic is also exploring the idea: http://www.agirlandherfed.com/1.1.html
First, cybernetically enhanced humans are created and controlled and then the balance of power tips. Still waiting to see where it goes.
So what do you guys think will be the thing?
I guess worst case scenario is that it turns into one more product for the consumer culture to absorb.
