[FidoNet] 1. What the Opus BBS software and
sysops call FidoNet. 2. Fanciful term for a cyberspace
expected to emerge from current networking experiments (see the network). The name of the rather good 1999 cypherpunk movie
"The Matrix" played on this sense, which however had been
established for years before. 3. The totality of present-day
computer networks (popularized in this sense by John Quarterman;
rare outside academic literature).
