Sparkle

Sparkle has spread as a niche recreational drug during the early parts of 2075. It's effect include visual, tactile, and haptic hallucinations — especially near any networked devices. Users have reported bands of light from access points. Side effects include neural burn-out, inability to focus, and potential addiction.
It's possible that the nanobots that make up the drug would somehow be able to act as a Cyberdeck distributed throughout a user's body. If so, it would revolutionize the way neural-computer interfaces are viewed. It might even lead to an improved version of Soulkiller for the first time since the Fourth Corporate War. Whether that's a good or a bad thing depends on your point of view.
