商业商业世界在金融危机的余波中举步维艰。因此，当矩阵被重建后，服务提供商确保它不会再次崩溃(或者他们希望我们这么相信)，建立了一个覆盖大部分大都市地区的无线网络。考虑到硬件和基础设施受到的破坏，重建老式的有线电信系统(更不用说维护了)是没有利益的。现在，大多数企业已经完全投入到无线通信的大潮中。这对他们和我们来说都是快速、简捷且有利可图的。
通过AR技术，员工可以在家、在路上、甚至在流动的工作环境中登录。人们认为虚拟办公室方便、快捷，而且最重要的是它的成本效益。没有中央办公室，薪奴成为了他们自己的移动办公室，从而消除了维护中央大楼的成本，增加了员工的可用时间，并确保业务可以全年无休地运行。

BUSINESS
The business world was crippled in the aftermath of the crash. As a result, when the Matrix was rebuilt, the service providers ensured it could never crash again (or so they’d like us to believe), building a web of wireless coverage that blankets most metro areas. Given the damage done to hardware and the infrastructure, it quickly became obvious that rebuilding—much less maintaining—the old-fashioned wired telecom system wasn’t profitable. Now most corps have jumped fully on the wireless bandwagon. It’s quick, easy, and profitable—for them and for us.
Through AR, employees can be logged in from home, from the road, or even from nomadic work environments. Virtual offices are considered convenient, quick to set up, and most importantly cost-efficient. With no central offices, wageslaves become their own mobile offices, eliminating the costs of maintaining central buildings, increasing the amount of hours an employee can be available, and ensuring business can run 24/7/365.
> 这种商业方式的安保漏洞为我们这样的有事业心的罪犯留下了空间。想骇入一个安保网络? 只需要去拜访会计鲍勃，然后通过他的系统登录，瞧! 当然，大公司通常会将他们的员工安置在安全的公司领地以阻止这种努力，这使得这种方法更复杂了一点。
> Glitch
> 然而，对于真正敏感的东西，比如那些令人垂涎的新无人机的诱人研发规格，公司把任何东西和任何人都锁在一个安全的建筑或园区里。
> Slamm-0!
> 当你利用那样的安保漏洞时，不要欺骗自己，以为自己可以侥幸逃脱。就像预算中的其他项目一样，公司也要对缩水(即由于盗窃、数据泄露和其他来源造成的损失)进行解释。当底线受到威胁时，它们往往会主动管理这些损失。
> Mr. Bonds
其他公司则提供全沉浸的办公室，薪奴可以前往任何地方，插上电源，然后在VR办公室里度过接下来的12个小时，没有外界干扰，不会妨碍他们的满额工作效率。在高度安保的地区，系统可能与员工完全脱机，要求员工在门口“检查”他们的私人通讯链，而在现场使用工作场所的通讯链。当然，这确实会导致大量员工精疲力竭，但是，嘿，人是可以被替代的，对吧?
企业还发现，使用AR技术进行培训、监控员工和传播企业的垃圾信息非常容易。AR通信很容易被窃听，在新的AR世界里，员工无论在职场还是在家里都没有隐私。当然，大多数薪奴并不知道他们的企业老板在密切关注着他们。我当然不会是那个宣布这个消息的人。
AR技术还允许企业更好地在危险或困难的环境中部署他们的人员，如采矿、水下环境，甚至建筑行业。通过使用RFID标签和AR，企业可以持续监视每一个工人，警告他们危险的区域，防止他们进入非安保区域，监测生命体征和生产力，从而降低风险。

Other corporations provide fully jacked-in offices where wageslaves go, plug in, and then spend the next twelve hours in a VR office, with no outside distractions to hamper full productivity. In high security areas, the system may be completely off line with employees required to "check" their personal commlinks at the door and use a workplace ‘link while on site. Of course, this does lead to a high number of burnout employees, but hey, people are replaceable, right?
Businesses have also discovered the ease of using AR for training, monitoring employees, and disseminating corporate bullshit. AR transmissions are so easy to eavesdrop on, employees in the new AR world have no privacy at work or at home. Of course, most wageslaves have no idea of how closely their corporate masters are watching. I certainly am not going to be the one to break the news.
AR technology has also allowed corporations to better deploy their personnel in dangerous or difficult environments, such as mining, underwater environments, and even construction. By using RFID tags and AR, corporations can reduce risk through constant surveillance of every worker, warning him of dangerous zones, preventing entry into unsecured areas, and monitoring vital signs and productivity.
> 越来越多的公司正在使用廉价的(即一次性的)劳动力，并在他们身上植入一些劣质的技能闭路，一夜之间创造出工人。它具有很大的灵活性，因为企业可以在任何时候将新的技能/培训能力下载到他们的劳动力中。这比在员工身上投入多年的培训、教育和时间要划算得多。
> Aufheben
> 技能闭路不合格，医疗保健也不存在，公司从员工的工资中扣除手术和设备的费用。一旦他们加上利息和所有额外的护理、升级和日常维护费用，员工就会成为几个月甚至几年的无薪奴隶。
> Nephrine
> 我不知道还有什么能比这些更糟糕，看到这么多的人放弃他们的身体和灵魂，只为了依靠微薄的工资生存，或是看到更多未受训的工人被完全自动化的工厂和廉价的无人机劳动力取代，而这正是这么多企业所仰赖的，迫使泛人类劳工在毒害自己的身体或眼睁睁看着家人挨饿之间做出选择。
> Fatima
> 无人机很容易制造，也很容易控制，而且你不会遇到泛人类劳动力所固有的昂贵的错误。世界就是这样。如果可怜的啜泣者想要离开，他们可以做到。我就这么做了。
> Butch
> 虽然伦理学课很有趣，但我宁愿把时间花在有意义的事情上。无人机劳动力是生活的现实。一个聪明的狂奔者知道如何利用这些优势。如果你的黑客能进入系统，他们就能控制这个地方。这是一个巨大的优势。
> 2XL
> 妈的，最可怕的是有些地方有安保黑客和机师值班。没有什么比让一个团队进入一个地方，却发现有一个蜘蛛，一个可以跳入安保系统并“成为”建筑的安保机师更糟糕的了。几周前，我走进一个满是植入了技能闭路的兽人的实验室，一个警报被触发了。当我们的黑客在大楼的系统中战斗而我们其他人在试图对付安保无人机时，那只该死的蜘蛛下载了一套新的技能软件到这群普通人身上。把他们从实验室的普通员工变成了训练有素的安保部队。在短短几秒钟内，我们就有了100多名突然明白了如何狠狠踢我们屁股的兽人。不用说，我们逃了。

> More and more corporations are taking cheap (read: disposable) labor and slapping some shoddy skillwires into them, creating workers overnight. It makes for great flexibility, since the corp can download new skills/training into their workforce at any time. Much more cost-efficient than investing years of training, education, and time into employees.
> Aufheben
> The skillwires are substandard, the healthcare non-existent, and the corp charges the employee for the cost of the surgery and gear, taking it out of their wages. The employee is an unpaid slave for months, if not years, once they tack on interest and all the extra costs of care, upgrades, and routine maintenance.
> Nephrine
> I don’t know what’s worse, seeing so many sign away their bodies and souls just to survive on the pitiful wages offered, or seeing even more of the unskilled workers displaced by the fully automated factories and cheap drone labor that so many corps rely upon, leaving metahuman workers with the choice between polluting their bodies or watching their families starve.
> Fatima
> Drones are easy to build, easy to control, and you don’t get the costly screw-ups inherent in a metahuman workforce. It’s the way of the world. If the poor SOBs want to get out, they can. I did.
> Butch
> While the ethics lecture is entertaining, I’d rather spend my time productively. Drone workforces are a fact of life. A smart runner knows how to use them to his advantage. If your hacker can get into the system, they can control the place. Talk about a great advantage.
> 2XL
> Shit, what’s scary is that some of these places have security hackers and riggers on duty. Nothing worse than getting a team into a place only to realize there’s a spider—a security rigger—who can jump into the security system and "become" the building. A few weeks back I got into a lab full of skillwired grunts and an alarm got set off. While our hacker was fighting through the building’s system and the rest of us were trying to deal with the security drones, the damn spider downloaded a new set of skillsofts into the grunts. Transformed the bunch from lab grunts to trained security forces. In a matter of seconds, we had 100-plus orks who suddenly knew a hell of a lot about kicking our asses. Needless to say, we left.

AR的另一大商业利益是把东西卖给所有的薪奴(还有你)。很多很多的东西。通过实时追踪你的每一笔购买。你进入的每一家商店，你光顾的每一家餐馆，甚至是你今早加到咖啡里的豆浆……好吧，这么说吧，系统比你更了解你和你的喜好。没过多久，企业就意识到市场数据追踪是一种多么有利可图的业务。你的购买模式面临着非常激烈的竞争，每个有SIN和可支配收入的人都是目标。当你走在大街上的时候，你会被餐馆每天的特色菜轰炸，商店为你最喜欢的内衣品牌做广告，街边小贩用病毒式广告软件攻击你，娱乐场所闪烁着AR霓虹灯招牌来吸引你的注意……在任何商业中心，你都不可能逃脱持续不断的数据攻击。任何时候，只要你对其中一个广告表现出兴趣，你的注意行为就会被记录下来，并被汇总编辑到你的其他消费资料。企业的利益确保了将你的通讯链转换为静默模式(或将其扔到最近的回收商)是可疑的或非法的，而且几乎总是会让你被警察或安保部队注意到。对于大街上的普通人来说，持续不断的广告战争是生活中一个浅显的事实。然而，对于狂奔者，我强烈建议，如果你开始收到按你的方式个性化的广告，这是一个明确的信号，是时候扔掉你现在的ID，买一个新的了。

The other big business interest in AR is selling stuff to all those wageslaves (and you). Lots and lots of stuff. With the ability to track every purchase you make, real-time. Every store you enter, every restaurant you patronize, right down to the soymilk you added to your coffee this morning … well, let’s just say, the system knows more about you and your preferences, than you do. It didn’t take long for corporations to realize what a lucrative business market-data tracking is. There’s some seriously heavy competition out there for your buying patterns, and everyone with a SIN and disposable income is targeted. You walk down the street and get bombarded with restaurants reciting their daily specials, stores advertising sales of your preferred brand of underwear, street side vendors blasting you with viral ad-software, entertainment parlors flashing neon AR signs to get your attention … it is impossible to escape the constant data assault in any commercial center. Any time you actually show interest in one of the ads, your attention is noted and compiled with the rest of your consumer profile. Corporate interests have ensured that turning your commlink to hidden mode (or chucking it into the nearest recycler) is suspicious or illegal, and will almost always get you noticed by police or security forces. For the average Joe on the street, the constant ad-war is a simple fact of life. For runners, however, I’d highly recommend that if you begin to have personalized ads sent your way, it is a sure sign that it’s time to chuck your current ID and buy a new one.
你是谁？无线世界的ID
你的系统识别编码(SIN)是在你出生时或你更改国籍或企业国籍时发给你的唯一标识符。这个标识符(不仅仅是字母数字)包含基本信息，比如你的生日、出生地和其他数据，这些信息编码在标识符中。如果你在出生时就获得了SIN，那么你的SIN将与基本的生物特征数据联系在一起，比如DNA样本、视网膜扫描和指纹。随着年龄的增长，可以添加额外的生物识别数据，如声音模式、面部特征和手部测量。你的SIN是在你的国家或公司注册的，同时也在全球SIN登记处注册。在崩溃之后，大多数政府和企业开始要求建立多个备份数据库，以便在国家级紧急状况下可以访问这些数据库。
你的识别编码包含与其他公民、政府/企业机构、实体或在线零售商互动所需的所有数据。尽管每个发放识别编码的国家/公司都在公民ID上嵌入了不同的数据，但它们通常包含你的姓名、年龄、泛人种类型、身体描述、当前照片、凭证，并经常与你的银行账户联系在一起。如果你是觉醒者或超链者，许多国家还要求识别编码包含你的状态，以及你拥有的任何赛博或生体殖装的注册状态。
你的SIN与你的生物特征数据相关联，证明你是一名公民。你的识别编码意味着你是谁。它们让你在今天的世界中生存。

WHO ARE YOU?: I.D. IN THE WIRELESS WORLD
Your System Identification Number is a unique identifier issued to you at birth or any time you change national or corporate citizenship. This identifier (which is not just alpha-numeric) contains basic information, such as your birthdate, birthplace, and other data, encoded within the identifier. If issued at birth, your SIN will be linked to basic biometric data, such as a DNA sample, retinal scan, and finger prints. As you age, additional biometrics such as voice patterns, facial patterns, and hand measurements can be added. Your SIN is registered with your country or corporation of citizenship as well as with the Global SIN Registry. Following the Crash, most governments and corporations began requiring multiple backup databases that can be accessed in case of national emergency.
Your id contains all the data necessary to interact with other citizens, government/corporate agencies, and physical or online retailers. Although every issuing country/corp embeds different data on a citizen’s ID, they generally contain your name, age, metatype, a physical description, a current photo, licenses, and are frequently linked to your bank account. Many countries also require IDs to contain your status if you are Awakened or a technomancer along with registries of any cyber or bioware you have.
Your SIN is linked to biometric data and proves you are a citizen. Your ID is who you are. Together, they allow you to exist in today’s world.
