Answer 12b [CTY]: Hangers
Small, rigid, collapsible survival capsules know as "moon cribs" form the basis for this cohort of homeless. Moon cribs are basically the TL 9 version of living in cardboard boxes, though they have a couple of extra conveniences, such as a basic data connection, internal heating and a foldaway cooking unit, all running off an internal battery or external power, if available.
Hanger tribes prefer to live in hard to reach, out of the way places, in groups of 10 to 100, though more sizable communities exist. They can be found in the rafters of warehouses or hangars- whether defunct or still operational, on the side of sea walls, comms towers, the underside and pylons of bridges, among other things. They use climbing ropes and pitons to fasten their moon cribs together and onto the structure then build ad-hoc power and waste disposal systems around them.
Altogether, it's estimated there are 50,000 to 100,000 hangers on 'the N', but NeuroCorp tend not to pay much attention to them unless they start stripping the copper from company assets or get somewhere in the line of sight of an executive.

Originally developed for their own corp cops for everything from enhanced interrogation to undercover observation, it is now available to YOU on the above-board market for prices almost anyone can aspire to affording.

Question 43.1 followup - Memory Grafting Process
What are some more technical details about the process?
Is it surgical or intrusive? Just an external electrical contact? Does it involve injections or cellular transplants to the brain's
autobiographical memory anatomy?
Do customers need implants or access ports to receive memory grafts? Is it a purely electro-mechanical process or are organic AIs (ANCs) integral?
How long does it take? How are selective memories chosen? How skilled does a technician need to be to use the device?
