    The Novel: Cyberpunk Sci-fi Spoilers

    I have a World building question I thought would be good to be asked here. If everyone gets a stack implanted at 1yr old, and people get re-sleeved when the biological body aka sleeve wears out or gets injured WHERE do the “extra” bodies to resleeve come from (besides prisoners who’ve been shelved as punishment for a crime)? It seems that you’d need a lot of extra “blank” bodies not just the clones the rich can afford. Do people resleeve as infants and live life again or is it generally “adult to adult”? Thank you. 

    Books never actually explain this sleeve supply and demand issue but they don't really go deep into minutia. There are however mentioned companies who design and manufacture custom sleeves for sports, combat and recreation. The manufacturing capacities seem insufficient for the demand or costs too high as they seem to throw away bodies left and right on one hand and poor people are having difficulties obtaining replacement bodies.

    I'm not a big fan of this whole dummy down reinterpretation.
