You've got a pretty good base here. A few suggestions:

Verbal Plasticity doesn't look very valuable here. LilyPAD, Jailbreak, and Diesel all draw you cards without using the basic action, so you would be better served by just having a smaller deck size and taking them out.

I think Conduit is overkill since you already have Trick Shot and Cataloguer. It's expensive, it takes up memory, and because it requires so many runs you have to be able to make those runs cheap. I would just cut it.

Have you found Ashen Epilogue helpful in this deck? The deck is pretty big and doesn't have a huge amount of draw. I would cut it.

Have you considered including Botulus in the deck, either in place of a Physarum Entangler or with the influence freed up from Ashen Epilogue? It can deal with barriers and you have Spree to move it around and Muse to search for it and bring it back from the heap.

If you are looking to further thin your deck, you probably only need one Pichaçao. Alternatively, trade it for a second Burner - it's really strong disruption and combos with Trick Shot.

If you find yourself low on money, Aesop’s Pawnshop could help you out. With Coalescence, Muse, and Telework Contract, you have quite a few natural targets for it.

Hopefully some of these help!
