Have a look at the Shadowrun RPG (as book for ambiance)... targeted
advertisement as you pass by every shop is coming to your mobile phone.
And it is going to be as hostile as it sound. Next, augmented reality to
hit your glass and audio device... still for aggressive advertisements.

Along the revision/Edition, the matrix changed a bit (connection was
more difficult in first edition, wifi is everywhere in latests).

On another hand, triple-A security blocks are emerging too. Some started
with "elderly-only" town (forbidden to less than ~60 years old alone),
but private blocks are not so far.

Arcology are not yet, unless you look at Millenium tower (tokyo,
project), or Dubai... yep, they are coming. Not sure it will not split
population too.
