The term is usually attributed to science fiction writer Neal Stephenson, who used it in his 1995 novel The Diamond Age (p.373). It is used in several types of context, for utilitarian as well as political purposes. Its connotations may vary between specific usages; it should be treated with caution because of possible implicit content. Its first published use after Stephenson was in an article by James C. Bennett titled "Canada's World Advantage" for the Canadian newspaper, The National Post, in an article dated January 4, 2000, p. A16.
