There is a book I saw once in the bookstore and have always regretted not reading.
The concept was that society is so advanced that everyone has a computer linked to their brains to help them process the overwhelming amount of information they encounter. Crimes are punished by disconnecting that computer and forcing people to live without the extra processing power. And the protagonist is maybe wrongfully convicted or involved in some kind of black market.
The central conflict is fuzzy but the concept is what stands out.
