Like the custom endocrine systems ~~of combat sleeves in Richard Morgan's Altered Carbon~~ edit: I think I was thinking of Iain M Banks' "Culture" series actually, but both are worth a read! Need to be strong or fast? Just give yourself a little squirt of adrenaline! Time for slow heart rate and low energy use? Slow-release a skoche of acetylcholine.

You make a good point about subscriptions. The repo when you stop paying would be pretty grim.

i mean you weren't actually off on the altered carbon, it just isn't described in as much detail, but is effectively the same thing ;)

Thirteen, also by richard morgan, features similar themes as well!

Expanse does too, though it isn't common in that world.
