It is unclear why only the super rich can afford regular wireless stack backups, as they only take a few seconds, and why even the richest Meths don't know how to run an [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incremental_backup incremental] or differential backup rather than constantly overwriting their full backups.

The [[AGI]] development level has inexplicably halted, leading to human level artificial intelligences who perform relatively unglamorous jobs like running hotels and sex shows.

Insecure [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biometrics biometric] authentication in the form of fingerprint payments are inexplicably utilized, presumably for the usual reason of appearing future-y.

Insecure networks are accessed by 'dippers' who steal memories as well as run-of-the-mill hacking. Even the CCTV can be hacked by an individual with advanced interference technologies.

Virtual reality technology can provide an almost real life level of immersion and sensation, but not to a level that a sufficiently lucid participant cannot realise they are in a construct, thus limiting the scope of ''[[simulation hypothesis|they were in a simulation all along]]'' plot lines.

The environment is not one of ubiquitous surveillance and [[privacy]] is not yet dead, hence use of an eye-implanted camera is exceptional rather than a standard feature of an eye augmentation. Similarly, the 'private' fight club somehow manages to prevent unauthorised recordings, whilst secretly taking VHS recordings because the non-digital format is more secure.
