That one's ancient, for what it's worth. I'd be amazed if it wasn't coined by one of the first gen cyberpunk authors.

(Although I'm starting to have my doubts. Furthest I can get back is 1993 (usenet post). I'm curious to know if anyone can get further back).

		My chatbot found an unsourced claim that Bruce Sterling used it in 1992. Google Books gets me back as far as 1990, but I don't trust it (https://www.google.co.uk/books/edition/The_Law_and_Business_...) - I think there's a good chance the publication date is wrong. Earliest reference in British Newspaper Archive is 1997. I wonder if anyone has access to newspapers.com? But if it first crops up on usenet in 1993, I can't imagine it being coined much earlier than that.
