"Grinding" by Janine Ashbless: Short, sweet, sticky. This is a story that has more of a setup in Shadowrun-style cyberpunk with its occult protagonist, but offers a nice if not particularly deep take on those who get caught up in MMOs to the detriment of their lives and relationships.

"Synthetic Skin" by Kendra Jarry: Hot gender reversal courtesy of synthetic skin casts. The author has apparently done some other femdom stuff and I can say I look forward to reading some more of it.

"Sixty-Five Night" by Stephen Stavros: Pretty good. Woman gets body interface cyber ware and is dommed by the AI ghost of her deceased husband. Solidly written.

"Never Say No" by Devyn X. Sands: A lot of human emotions and foibles go into an affair, but characters who have them tend to come across as very one-dimensional. That said, I am reading too much into an extremely arousing story of infidelity, revenge, and getting dommed by your robot maid.

"Dangerous Circuitry" by N.T. Morley: Sex and story both were dreadfully mechanical, and while that comes off as something of a pun in this context, I glazed over this story as I was reading. It felt very out of place coming on the heels of two rather good pieces.

"Rough, Trade" by Cecilia Tan. Not much in the way of sociopolitical maneuvering, here. Just an exploration of long hours, loneliness, pasts we can't escape, and screwing each other with fancy gizmos.

Good stuff so far. A great intro regarding themes of cyberpunk and transgressive sexuality, and ruminations on how tech has not liberated us. Then the first story, "Bishop to King's Pawn, Two" which builds up a bit of suspense and mystery to its (heh) climax. In parts sad and arousing. In other words, so far the wet hot cyberpunk fucking has been pretty good.
