What is an example of hyperbole in the novel, Termination Shock?

Stephenson uses hyperbole as humor. For instance, when Laks’s relatives prepare him a care package to take with him on his secret mission, it is described in this way: “On the floor in front of that was a not-so-waterproof care package that had been assembled during the last few hours by Gurmeet and others, containing sufficient provisions for Laks to crawl to Texas on hands and knees” (556).
