Drummers
From the Quicksilver Metaweb.
In The Diamond Age, the Drummers are a FOQNE of drug-addled, undersea dwelling polyamorous 24/7 ravers who have created a technology by which nanites infesting their bodies utilize the Drummers orgy/rave ceremonies to perform vastly distributed neural network computations on very large and difficult problems. John Percival Hackworth, the Artifex/Alchemist, spends time among them as penance for getting caught up in the machinations of the Old Kingdom, but operates as a spy for the Victorian government.
It is theorized that the CryptNet high level operatives, like PhyrPhox use the Drummer collective network as their personal computer system for the "tuple processing" that they are hired to do.
