I remember this update. There was actually an update to that somewhere which took the story through part of 2000. I remember I had a copy of it, but I can't find it anywhere. I vaguely recall that for some reason that the update was somehow on a server connected to Ohio State University. It had some out of left field cultural aspects, for example Rush Limbaugh had a show on CNN. It read like an AAR of a GURPS IST campaign.
