Sleep Dealer is a movie about two Mexican brothers who are hackers and riggers. One of them gets a job at a military facility while the other starts working overseas as a 'sleep dealer', basically an illegal immigrant rigger. It's a low budget indie movie so it has some shitty special effects, but it has a solid plot and some really interesting ideas. I'd suggest renting it if possible.

this movie almost perfectly depicts the kind of interface hackers and riggers use: a simsense rig. it is designed to immerse the rigger's senses, adding tactile feedback from the drone you are connected to. how much essence do you think that major implant surgery would cost?
