* Used as a plot point in ''Film/{{Elysium}}''. To assist Delacourt in her coup to take over the space station, Carlyle develops a program that will reboot Elysium's system, and stores it in his brain. While on the way up to Elysium however, Carlyle's shuttle is shot down by Max in a data-heist, who downloads the information into his own brain.

That means after Carlyle is killed during the heist, everyone is chasing after Max to get hold of the program. Worse, the program comes with a defense mechanism that kills anyone who attempts to execute the code without authorization.

The 2015 novel ''Agent of the Imperium'' goes into more detail about Wafer Jacks, overuse of Expert wafers can lead to degenerative brain conditions, and the protagonist is a [[BrainUploaded brain imprint]] stored on a wafer who temporarily overrides the personalities of people who slot his chip.
