These are not one to one correspondences, of course, since gaming fun trumps adaptation. I'd reccomend that, in games with limited available Paradigms, you allow a bonus feat or a Edge instead.To do Neuromancer, get rid of most simulacra (though Wintermute, as an S3 AI NPC can create them). Everything is symbolic. Case is a Smart 2/Charismatic 1 (remember his time in Chiba as a criminal middleman)/Neurohacker 4 with the Flatline and Patron AI Edges. To do The Matrix, get rid of most symbolic objects. Characters are Netborn with the Wild Paradigm: Operative feat, which lets them do tricked out kung fu stunts and buff their arsenals (though in the Matrix itself, most security for creating objects is too high to allow folks to create guns inside -- thus the Construct). Neo is a Neurohacker who can do much, much more, of course. Most Agents are humanoid automata, except for Smith, who is an S2 category playable AI.</blockquote>
