I was promised soul-crushing cybernetic implants in my cyberpunk dystopia!

I think in HCMC, you’ll get a cyberpunk scooter.
I had a Vietnamese student and one day, we were talking off-the-record (she was a local Communist Party leader) and I couldn’t resist observing that never in my life had I seen a more entrepreneurial people than the Vietnamese.
She remarked back that in order to achieve true communism, “first, we must go through maximum capitalism” with a twinkle in her eye and a smile.
I still keep in touch with her - she was a great student with an acerbic wit.
