"In any case," Hackworth continued, "Trickster/Technologist is just one 
of the universals. The database is full of them. It's a catalogue of the 
collective unconscious. In the old days, writers of children's books had to map 
these universals onto concrete symbols familiar to their audience—like 
Beatrix Potter mapping the Trickster onto Peter Rabbit. This is a reasonably 
effective way to do it, especially if the society is homogeneous and static, so 
that all children share similar experiences.
