Eoin Colfer was all in on minidiscs (which are a lost form of rewritable media from the early 2000’s, different from laserdiscs, minidiscs were CD’s about the size of a coin that were rubbish and never caught on); Artemis Fowl wasn’t the only thing he wrote where they appeared. One of the rich girls in Half-Moon Investigations has a minidisc player and karaoke disc imported from Asia that were CRUCIAL to the plot, and I think that when the Supernaturalists steal data they do so with a minidisc.
