No, like the surgery that allows you to have sensations in the Net quite often kills people, either during the actual surgery or while in use. Having large parts of your brain filled with chunks of metal will never be a great idea, and the more expansive the worse off it'll be.
Internal hemorrhaging, strokes, seizures, all that noise. A large amount of side-effects, like not being able to sense ANYTHING outside of the Net. Something that makes it truly dangerous, and thus only the truly devoted will do it. These large amounts of side effects and dangers would also make it illegal.
Also, I think you and I share vastly different ideas of just HOW dystopian this future is. I don't think it's a mind-numbing horror-story to live in the real world. 27 years really isn't that long when you consider that there are going to be people who aren't even 40 who grew up without it. There's going to be LARGE blocks of culture dedicated to stuff other than the Net.
