  Nah reality is even more cyberpunk. They are machine cigarettes (commonly called brainsticks) produced by the Tetsuto-Osaka Heavy Industries Corporation, one of the biggest and more powerful mega-corps with interests spanning cyborgs, neuronal interfaces, and blazing fast matrix holo-decks. The founder, Rin Tetsuto founded the company over 200 years ago. And while no one has seen him in over 75 years, it is rumored that he still helms the megacorp, if true, making him over 240 years old. But anyways, and maybe it’s just because I’m a smoker, I love the cigarettes. The mix of high-life and low-life is the definition of cyberpunk: and nothing represents that more than a hazy smoke filled room of salarymen smoking and watching VR porn. In fact, my interest in cyberpunk made me start smoking (and other stuff) because my 16 year olds self wanted to be like Case and his dope hexogonal dex pills! Unfortunately my implants got fried by a neuro-virus and never managed to jack in and see the beauty of the matrix. One day... (in the off chance I’m still alive)
