>Hey J.C. I ever tell you about that time when all augmented people went insane and then the world turned out on them forcing them into ghettos and treated them all like criminals it was a really interesting scenario

Wasn't Paul born around mankind divided?

No, JC was. Paul is already 11 years old by then.

They really wrote themselves into a corner in HR. They must have realized halfway through that something had to happen to make mechanical augmentation as unpopular and grotesque as in the original DX, so they had to have the "Aug Incident" to make their new timeline converge whatsoever to the original setting.

and even with that nano augmentation was fucking way better
Even in the original before HR/MD the options JC had with his nano augs were way better than Jensens regular augs even with the upgrades he got in MD.

...as it should be, though? It's 25 years later, nano-augs better be a massive upgrade. I've actually hard the opposite complaint, that Jensen's augs are too good compared to the state-of-the-art mechanical augmentation in the original DX.

it's still a more realistic series of events than 9/11 and what followed
