Re: Out of the loop.

I think it's a pity that they go so hard for the "scary augmentation" thing when there's so much that could be done with "and now a corporation owns parts of your body". Like, your dad gets his robot legs, yay...but they're implanted into his body and if he falls behind in repayments they will be removed. Hey, has he considered getting these even better legs and going to work security for the corporation? He'll get a leg discount and be able to shoot lasers from his knees (and also have a 50/50 chance of dying at his new job at which point they remove the legs and re-sell them...)

Knee lasers! :D

I think this was touched on in some book...arrgh, can't think.
I want to say 'The Expanse', but I don't think so.

*Someone* out there went that route, but who....?

I would have said that’s Deus Ex’s thing. You know, with lifetime requirements to take expensive medicine so your body doesn’t reject your augmentations.

Hrmmmmmmm. I've never heard of Deus Ex (but I don't play video games, so.....)

Wasn't there a movie where you got organs and if you couldn't pay, you had to give them back....?

This will drive me nuts all day. :D

REPO, the Genetic Opera. It's a musical. I don't remember it very well but it had a moderate fandom in its day and I'm pretty sure it's what you're thinking of.

There were two - the first one was 2008's "Repo: The Genetic Opera", and the second was 2010's "Repo Men", both with the same premise. I prefer the 2008 one, and shall now be singing "Zydrate comes in a little glass vial. A little glass vial? A little glass vial!" all day.

I am familiar only with the name. I've never read a fic or a synopsis, so - something else....
AH HA - Repo Men. A movie I barely remember, but that was the premise of it.

The anime No Guns Life does handle this subject, somewhat, in case you're interested. It's a fun cyberpunk series with some noir overtones.
