The CIC, or Central Intelligence
Corporation
, is a creation of
Neal Stephenson
in his novel
Snow Crash
. After the total
commercialization
of society and the government, the
Library of Congress
and the
Central Intelligence Agency
, which had
evolved
in their pursuit of
information
into very similar entities, were combined into a
for-profit
database of information. This information is provided by CIC stringers, who constantly upload
video
clips,
rumor
s, and other information to the database in the hopes that someone will find one of their
tidbit
s useful (and therefore will pay for the use of it). This also led to the evolution of
gargoyle
s, the culmination of wearable computing; these stringers were "
online
"
24-7
, uploading every bit of information recorded by every piece of
sensor
equipment attached to their bodies.

CIC
is also the
acronym
used for
Combat Information Center
. Modern
naval vessel
s are typically fought from this room deep within the ship, protected from
enemy fire
and hooked into the ship's
sensor
s,
information systems
and control systems. This has replaced the
bridge
as the
commanding officer
's (or
OOD
's)
station
.
