Additional Card Rulings & Errata
  Ruling Source Date
If the Runner draws a card without announcing that action, the Corp can still respond by rezzing City Surveillance; "the fact that the Runner isn't being talkative doesn't allow him to get away with drawing without CS being rezzed." Tom Wylie via JD Wiker

When using Ronin Around, you don't have to pay because Ronin Around doesn't say draw. Wendy Wallace

Yes, we may interrupt the Runner's action to rez City Surveillance (e.g., if the Runner plays Jack 'n' Joe, we may rez City Surveillance to force the Runner to either take three tags or pay three bits or any combination thereof). Sparky

The Runner cannot decide not to complete an action because City Surveillance is rezzed during that action. Netrunner FAQ v.1.0 05/22/1996
Trivia

The card artwork shows a Picasso-esque cubist face drawn over an aerial image of New York City. The image is aligned with east towards the top of the card. Manhattan Island appears at the bottom, with Central Park clearly visible just left of centre, Long Island appears to the top and right of the stylised face, and the Bronx region to the left. The artist, Sue Ann Harkey, used a closer up image of Manhattan on the card Ice and Data's Guide to the Net.
