  • The Book of Bytes 1.2
    The strongest minds overwhelmed the 1s and 0s of this new cyberscape, and their overcranked neural networks sloughed off crystallized energy. From Aeons to Demons, from Mutants to Apes, mental agility took digital form.

  • The Book of Bytes 1.3
    The UAEC realized the value of this emanating energy, recognized it could be used to build, to trade, to store value. And so, naturally, they set out to dominate it, to take control of the Citadel from the inside out.

• The Book of Bytes 1.5

All seemed lost. “Bytes,” as these bundles of concentrated electrical energy came to be known, were flowing from the Elite minds that produced them straight into the coffers of the UAEC. https://twitter.com/NeoTokyoCode/status/1598732861946957831

• The Book of Bytes 1.6

Realizing this power, this chi, this lifeforce, was their birthright, the Elite minds of the Citadel wrested control and began to capture the vibrational energy for themselves. The UAEC wanted the Bytes… but could not control the Citizens. https://twitter.com/NeoTokyoCode/status/1598732863737823235

• The Book of Bytes 1.7

Each Citizen, from Glitch District to Citadel Tower, funneled their Bytes toward a central vault, protected from every attempt at corruption or theft. The ecosystem would be reclaimed: to each according to his power, from each according to his strength. https://twitter.com/NeoTokyoCode/status/1598732865717485568
