    See I never got that far but I thought the plot was that working class people were being forced to get cybernetics to gain employment, and then the capitalists were using control over the anti-rejection drug to discipline labor. And then the protagonist reprised JC’s role as savior, or I guess being Adam the first man, by having some goofy biological trait that allowed him to accept cybernetics without needing the anti-rejection drug and somehow giving this ability to the people to free them.

      It could have picked up that story hook and went with it, but it sort of set it aside in favor of “those poor superbeings with superpowers, they’re resented by the unaugmented that are both too strong and too weak” Bioshock Infinite tier pretentious-and-pretending-to-be-smart writing.
