Cyberpunk

The name of the story "Johnny Mnemonic" by William Gibson and it was published in 1981. The setting of this story is 2021. This story plot has been told over and over. You have good guys and bad guys and you have one guy caught in the middle. His job is a data trafficker and for us trafficking his a negative meaning to it. For example, sex trafficking or drug trafficking.

The altered reality is very futuristic even though it's just 2 years away.  For example, The city just looks like a regular city but the technology has his impressions of what technology would have looked like. But in reality, is over the top. The thing that alters reality the most is that Johnny has a giant computer storage in his head. But if he didn't have that in his head, then it would be just like any other story.
