Thank you. I try. :)

Maybe the best thing about putting your runners on cryosleep for a
century is that it gives you the chance to incorporate some items that
are classic elements of many cyberpunk stories, that aren't normally
available in SR. Cheap, consumer-level magnetic anti-grav in the form
of flying cars. Homing Bullets. Freestanding holograms.
Replicants/Clones. Space stations and off-world colonies. Particle
and/or energy pulse weapons. The Island of California. True AI and
cyborgs. Delta grade cyber for the streetpunks and guttertrash who
can't afford "the less invasive consumer-grade 'ware" and have to get
the cheap, third-hand antiques through their street docs.

Plus, I can just imagine the look on the players' faces about 5
seconds into this, when they realize that EVERYTHING they know NO
LONGER APPLIES.
