Well, someone has forgotten GURPS 3e Cyberworld exists.

That's fixable by making armor-piercing arrows impaling as they should be, instead of pi.

Point of order (nitpick really), it's not a "setting book", it's a genre book. GURPS 3e Cyberpunk is about how to run cyberpunk games with GURPS 3e, but it's not a setting. GURPS 3e Cyberworld is the setting.

And... well... it's very boring comparatively speaking. I mean even CP 2020/2077 is jazzier, and I've always thought CP 2020 was completely boring. My setting recommendation would be to bring GURPS 3e Technomancer into the roaring 2020s... and as luck would have it there's a few people on the forums working on doing something similar.
