How many Praxis points can I expect to get in a playthrough of Deus Ex: Human Revolution?

Question

I just got Deus Ex: Human Revolution, and I'm trying to get a sense for how much flexibility I have in spending Praxis points. How many of these can I expect to accumulate in a playthrough of the game? Does this change for different difficulties or for different playstyles? For example, if I invest heavily in hacking, will I get enough of a return to make up some of the points spent?

Answer

I think I'm around half way through and I've found around 20.

A good rule of thumb is to always have a couple spare, so if you come across a five story drop that you have to survive or a level 5 security device or a wall you want to punch through, you can without having to look for another way or more praxis kits.

Edit: Because of the age of the game we can only estimate, but the general consensus is there are 22 to be found in the world and on a near perfect playthrough of the game 40 can be unlocked through experience. So 62. Just shy of the 68 needed to fill all slots.
