Tek - Futuristic drug on the sci-fi series TEKWAR/USA/1995. Tek was a highly addictive, illegal mind-control drug that interfaced with virtual reality computer programming and sent its users into a variety of fantasy worlds...worlds which potentially could cause death. To keep mankind from getting hooked on Tek, a mysterious Walter Bascam (William Shatner), the powerful head of Cosmos Security Agency, enlisted the aid of former cop Jake Cardigan (Greg Evigan) to battle the evil Teklords and those corrupt government officials bent on spreading the deadly drug worldwide in the year 2045. William Shatner, the creator of TEKWAR and the novels which inspired the series revealed in an interview (Starlog No. 199 February 1994 p.73) "The origin of Tek came about from the fact that I frequently use television to go to sleep. By extension, Tek became a drug able to fulfill your grandest fantasies."
