Simon Illyan lives, and he's Mexican!

Ok, so Mexico's Attorney General Rafael Macedo de la Concha doesn't have a memory chip in his head like Simon Illyan, Barrayar's security chief in Lois McMaster Bujold's Vorkosigan novels, but he DOES have a "non-removable microchip" in his arm, that allows him to be located at all times, and gives him access to a crime database. That's just unbelievably creepy, and serves as more proof that we live in a science fictional world.
