Zero History by William Gibson
William Gibson is friends with Errolson Hugh and parts of the book are inspired by Acronym. From the Thanks section of the book: "Michaela Sachenbacher and Errolson Hugh introduced me to the architecture of a “secret” brand, and the passion behind it."
This book is the third in a triology that starts with Pattern Recognition.
