Metafiction is an album composed, arranged, and produced by Vic Mignogna. While the album mostly contained Adult Contemporary ballads, like Mignogna's previous album "If These Walls Could Talk," it also had more diverse sounds and styles. "Nothing I Won't Give" and "Far From Home" have a more Hard Rock sound than many of Mignogna's other songs; "Does Anyone Know" uses Auto-Tune to create a more New Wave-influenced sound; "Chance" uses saxophones; and "At Calvary" and "Flying by Faith" are Contemporary Christian Music-styled songs.

Equal Pay for Equal work brings up the argument that men and women should get paid the same amount for similar work. There exists a wage gap between men and women, even when they have performed the same job. Several laws have been passed in an attempt to enforce equal pay between genders. However, women are still paid about 77.1 cents for every dollar that a man makes. The wage gap varies as it depends on the sector and position of the job. For instance, if there were a few women working in an industry that is primarily made up of women, the wage gap will be more significant than if there were more women than men in that same industry. In other words, jobs where women typically hold a position will pay less than a job that typically employs a man.
Today, there is still ongoing debate on whether or not equal pay should be a fundamental right. Consequently, pay discrimination is slowly but gradually disappearing. The country with the largest pay gap is South Korea at about 40%, followed by Japan at about 30% for a full-time job. This was the first law that moved forward the enforcement of equal pay between the sexes in a workplace.

The NIAT (Nielsen Intelligent Auditing Terminal) was an hand-held personal computer with one Mbyte of SSD memory, a six-line display and an alphanumeric keyboard. The unit was running a Database Management System used to enter, update and control the data on grocery stores inventories. The application program was written in PL/M, compiled and stored in EPROM memory.
There was also an auxiliary unit containing a one Mbyte floppy disk and serial interface circuits. When connected to the auxiliary unit the NIAT could run CP/M 3.0.
Starting in 1973 and ending in 1984, Enrico Massetti designed the software application as well as the hardware. In 1984, 2000 units of the NIAT were produced by Nielsen for internal use and were used in several European countries, in addition to the USA.
