"Another reason why privacy could be just a passing fad, terrorism is going to get too good. [1997]"
- Larry Niven

Implanted Microprocessor Monitor  
  Chips that are implanted in people to ensure compliance with company rules.  

How can you make sure that the employees of your company adhere to policies regarding drugs or other compounds?

Friday night on Ninsei...

He stepped out of the way to let a dark-suited saraiman by, spotting the Mitsubishi-Genentech logo tattooed across the back of the man's right hand.

Was it authentic? If that's for real, he thought, he's in for trouble. If itt wasn't, served him right. M-G employees above a certain level were implanted with advanced microprocessors that monitored mutagen levels in the bloodstream. Gear like that would get you rolled in Night City, straight into a black clinic.
