"Whuffie" is a reference to the Cory Doctorow novel Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom. It's set a post-scarcity society, Whuffie acts as a sort of currency and is earned from clout and social status. The protagonist goes from being wealthy in Whuffie to destitute and needs to earn his way back up. I read it a long time ago as a weird story. Might be time for a reread. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Down_and_Out_in_the_Magic_Kingdom https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Down_and_Out_in_the_Magic_King...
