Generated by Neal Stephenson, I believe. :)

Do you happen to know what book/story?

I believe it's from Snow Crash.

You'll notice the original commenter's nickname is 'hprotagonist' and Snow Crash's main character is Hiro Protagonist, too.

It's really the perfect comment/thread. :)

It's from Diamond Age, alluding to a character (YT) that was from Snow Crash.

Thanks for correcting me! That reference is even cooler than I expected.
