I saw these and I thought they were so cute, like I genuinely wanted one for myself because it looked like something out of Subnautica. Then I go to the website and lo- it's made for fucking landlords.

They even have a calculator that calculates rent for the pods.

They'll never regulate this shit, you'll have an absolute frothingfash putting like 10 in a house and charging every head full rent.

from Neuromancer (1984) book:

Cheap Hotel was the name of a hotel in Night City that had rentable coffins, white fiberglass capsules that were three meters long and had oval hatches that were a meter wide and just under a meter and a half tall. The coffins were racked in a framework of industrial scaffolding, organized in six tiers with ten coffins on a side. The hotel was able to be reached through an alley off Baiitsu and had an unlit neon sign near the entrance that simply said "CHEAP HOTEL."

Those are pretty popular in cyberpunk genre, but always gets portrayed as significant part of why it is dystopia.

The neuromancer pods are bigger than the real ones.
