From page 22 in the Nook Book ebook edition. Razorbacks are the term given to automated motor cycles set up as killing machines:
BCM: “Nonetheless. If word got out that the Daemon had taken control of thousands of corporate networks, it would cause a stock market panic.”
CSC: “Mr. Director, we can assure you that none of these razorback videos will ever gain credibility by appearing in mainstream news.”
NSA: “But they’re being shared over the Internet. Millions of people have already seen them.”
EndoCorp: “That’s a manageable problem.”
NSA: “What do you mean it’s manageable?”
EndoCorp: “We’ve copyrighted the razorback.”
NSA: “How does copyrighting them solve anything?”
EndoCorp: “Owning the IP gives us legal control of their image. We’re spinning these viral videos as stealth advertising for an upcoming video game.”
CSC: “Which means the general public won’t take them seriously.”
NSA: “Whose idea was this?”
CSC: “We don’t get down in the weeds. It was done by our psyops division. As far as the Millennials are concerned, these razorbacks are just guerrilla marketing.”
CIA: “But people have witnessed these things. People have died. How do we explain that?”
BCM: “Fact and fiction carry the same intrinsic weight in the marketplace of ideas. Fortunately, reality has no advertising budget.”
CSC: “Persistence and presence create truth online.”
