I recently picked up Hyperion (D. Simmons) and maybe it is not as Cyberpunkish as I'd like it to be, but it is really good book.
In 2077, technology has become omnipresent. It’s used to automatize industry, bombard the masses with incessant advertising, replace human flesh and bone with circuitry and steel, and the list goes on. While cheap electronic devices and services are available to even some of the poorest members of society, most cannot afford to buy the newest toys or replace broken equipment. As a result, from a young age many learn to improvise and work with discarded scrap to make repairs, to build their own diversions, to craft their own weapons.
We're not planning to introduce any reputation indicators for factions. Your reputation will be measured by a general Street Cred - reflecting how you're seen by the street. You will be able to increase it through side missions and it will allow you to unlock access to additional content, such as new shops or new missions.
Straight to the blackmail - you're not wasting any time, are you? 
Freedom is the biggest value for cyberpunks, so they wouldn't permanently join any faction. In the game you will be able to work for various factions, but it won't be possible to join them.
There will be some pet animals present in game (like stray cats or dogs), but other than that it's too early to say.
Lizzy Wizzy — Controversial frontwoman for the band Lizzy Wizzy and the Metadwarves, of which she is the only human member.
For many Night City residents, crushing poverty and homelessness are significant and likely inescapable problems. Despite this, most are still entranced by the glitz of showbiz and luxurious lifestyles of the privileged elite. Breakthroughs in neural technology paved the way for people to share recordings of their own personal memories and emotions via tech known as “braindance” (or BD). Some BD productions put actors in staged situations to create “false” memories, to give viewers the feeling that they’re living in an action film. Other BDs are simple recordings of a day in the life of the world’s biggest and brightest stars. The ability to “become” a celeb and experience a life of luxury gives many a chance to escape their own miserable reality. As a result, braindance addiction has become an ever-growing problem for the city’s poor. Also, as with all forms of entertainment media, illicit braindance recordings (XBDs) can be found easily in the seedy underbelly of Night City’s black market.

Hi AieronKnight! Welcome on forums - glad to have you here
Yes, people with disabilities will be present in Cyberpunk 2077, but I'm afraid that at this point I cannot get into more details.

Megabuildings are a prominent feature of the Night City skyline in 2077 and function like cities within a city. Each serves as a microcosm for Night City at large. They are self-contained architectural behemoths that offer housing, food, firearms, medicine, training — you name it, it’s there. But don’t mistake them for a futuristic realization of a utopian society. They share much of the same grit, grime, and danger you’d encounter out on the streets.
Night City is a shining example of consumerism run rampant. No matter where you look, you’re pitched a product, an aspiration. Whether you’re riding the metro, brushing your teeth, or pissing in an alleyway, the glitter, vibrant color, and allure of it all sucks you in. Advertisement saturation is a constant part of the sensory experience. Corporations are selling an unattainable dream and the masses are buying into it hook, line, and sinker.
Not kidding, at some point we actually had a quest pitch about a sentient soda machine called Brendan. It was very emotional and I loved it. Seems like this is an universal idea.
We actually showed it in 1080p.
And if it still doesn't work for you – please send us your OS version, Chrome version, and screen resolution.
Can you send us some screenshots? It works well for us, but we'll look into it.
In 2077, society is highly dependent on drones and robotics — from live-feed camera drones, to sparring bots and massive warehouse machinery. Huge, automated trash collectors and robotic street sweepers can be seen any day through your window (if you’re lucky enough to have one).
Whether top-of-the-line or pieced together from scrap, robotics serve a huge role in both the economic sector and everyday life. In fact, most public transportation services are handled by automated vehicles. These trains and buses are practically entities in their own right — able to communicate with each other and learn in order to improve efficiency.

Thanks for sharing that feedback and ideas of yours with us. We browse our official forums all the time.
Thanks for all the suggestions. As you know from the past, we always try to deliver meaningful content in boxed editions of our games, so this time around shouldn't be any different.
1. will i be able to change the UI colors?
No information on this yet, sorry. It's a cool idea though!
2. will any of the NPCs change their clothes?
Important npcs will likely have a "signature outfit", but when it makes sense in the story, they will change their clothes. So yes
3. will it be possible to complete the main storyline without killing anything?
We try to add a lot of variety and choice to how we make our quests in the story and there will be cases where it is possible to spare someone, but you won't be able to get through the whole game without killing anyone.

Hey there,
For now we cannot promise anything regarding the subject, but we will see what can be done!
As for the language availability - the list is not yet closed, so additional languages might be supported at launch.

At some point in future most likely yes - just like in case of The Witcher franchise.
