Trivia

This card is full of references to the cyberpunk novel Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson. The main figure in the art is very much like the book's main character, Hiro Protagonist, and the flavour text fits also. It not only refers to hypercards, a type of information transfer method in Snow Crash, but also talks about the giant panda or something. In Snow Crash, the 'Net' is really the Metaverse, where users have an 'avatar', which can appear any way the user wants it to appear, say as a giant panda.

HyperCard is a Macintosh computer program which creates and reads "stacks", which are multiple pages of information in a single data file.
