I find cyberpunk to be a bit high-concept for gaming. I ran some cyberpunk games around 25 years ago. Because I'd been gm'ing for the past decade or so, I did get players.

The game worked for a while, but ultimately it failed because of the cyberpunk background. You should ask yourself, "how will this make the game more fun for your players?"

YMMV.
