Keeping with the album's cyber theme, the track "Nature's Interface" features a sample, "Whatever is out here we're gonna be the first humans to see", from the second season Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Q-Who?", which featured the cybernetic Borg race as adversaries.

The album title is taken from an advertising slogan used by IBM in the mid-1990s.[2]
