Hackworth's card was about as flashy as he was. It was white, with his 
name stamped out in rather severe capitals. Like most cards, it was made of 
smart paper and had lots of
memory space left over to store digitized information. This particular copy 
contained a matter compiler program descended from the one that had created the 
original Young Lady's Illustrated Primer. This revision used 
automatic voice generation algorithms instead of relying on professional 
ractors, and it contained all of the hooks that Dr. X's coders would need to 
translate the text into Chinese.
