No Pychon references? The underground postal service in Crying of Lot 49.

That's what Nullsoft (of Winamp fame)'s P2P app WASTE was named in reference to. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WASTE

Some of his paranoid-aware readers believe Pynchon's W.A.S.T.E. may have been an early reference to the ARPANET/internet, which (in this reading of events) Pynchon was read into some of the plans for.
