Wasn’t there a movie or show where someone stopped hearing people because of some brainchip fee he didn’t pay?
One of the later red dwarf episodes has this. The ship gets upgraded to m-corp, which is pay-per-everything, and subscription-based, and as registered crew lister is the only one impacted. He can only see and hear things from m-corp.
Sounds like a black mirror episode… definitely different, but I always think about the Christmas episode where somebody gets blocked by society and nobody can see him again.
You don't even need the movies to have some dystopian implant horror. Second sigh used to produce a sight restoring implant. After some financial trouble they stopped manufacturing and support for one of their products. Leaving recipients of the implant sightless in the case the hardware breaks.
