Lea Kissner is back at her alma mater, the University of California at Berkeley, armed with a crisp gray blazer, a slide deck, and a laptop with a 'My Other Car Is A Pynchon Novel' sticker on it. Since graduating in 2002, she's earned a PhD at Carnegie Mellon in cryptography and worked her way up at Google, where she manages user privacy and tries to keep things from breaking. She's here to tell a hall of computer science students how she did it—and also how to create privacy-protective systems at a scale that you won't find outside a handful of massive tech companies.

I was wondering that to, except that I thought that it was either from that series of Russian fantasy books (1) or I guess they could have taken it from Pratchett (2) or from Babylon 5 (3). I guess they could have just picked it cause it sounded "cool" and not like some creepy Orwellian wet dream.

Why not the section of the Ankh-Morpork city guard headed by Vimes?
