SSN Is Not a Form of Identification!
In the 1930's as Fascism was gaining traction in Europe the US decided to assign everyone a number. Not to be used for ID, but to give you Social Security benefits.
1962 the IRS starts using the number to gather tax info. 1969 the military uses the SSN to ID you. 1977 Federal food assistance is using it.
Now it is your ID, just like they said it wasn't

The Blues is one note that doesn't belong in the scale, the blue note. A tiny change but everyone feels the sorrow because we know it isn't right. Pythagoras was.

Cyberpunk 2077 was based on Cyberpunk 2013, a pen and paper RPG published by R. Talsorian Games in 1988, so yeah it's done pretty well for itself. All the lore in the video game, Night City, Johnny Silverhand, etc. came straight of the '88 game.
