>> It might just be preference. There exist better stimulants than coffee today, but it's such a cultural mainstay that it sells. A status symbol, for example - the protagonist has her special blend. It might also be that high-stress operations use stronger stimulants, but for a run like this one it's frowned upon.

|

>>> OCP = Out of Context Problem which, I think, was originally from Excession.

|

>>> The use of 'Honest to Banks OCP'. Iain Banks' Excession is about an Outside Context Problem.
