Is Shadowrun the best comparison? (Score 1)

I can sort of relate to what's being said here. I've been watching life slowly get closer to fiction for the past 20 years. But 'Shadowrun'?.. please.. If we *really* need to go with a RPG game reference to keep it hip with the 'geek' crowd, why not something that doesn't include elves and magic (and don't even get me started on Vampires). Why not Cyberpunk 2020?.. Or even better, why not go with a literary reference.. remember thats another thing us 'geeks' are notorious for. Any of Gibson or Sterlings work (which for the record I don't really like) would have been equally appropriate, why not go for Anthony Burgess' A ClockWork Orange? In short, nice idea.. but very poor implimentation.. Your trying to force a square peg into a round hole.... (my 2c worth)
