The Neural Link is the foundational Neuralware implant of the 2040s. It is the successor to the neural processor of the 2020s, and is typically installed at the base of the skull or spine.

All Cyberware is artificial. Biological enhancements are considered a separate category, collectively referred to as Bioware.

Cybermodem Link: This is the basic processor that translates Net information into images. It replaces the more limited interface programs of the early 'teens, and allows the Netrunner to perceive a wider variety of environments than its predecessors.

Cyberware is commonplace in the cyberpunk world. It is a post-human society, where your meat body is little more than a tool to enhance for functionality or appearance. Cyberfashion (sometimes referred to as Fashionware) is its own thing in the cyberpunk world; enhancing your own body for no other reason than looks.
