Here's a June 1997:

[Begin]
Do you head for the cube farm every weekday morning anxious about
being Dilberted, or worse, chain sawed?
...
[Gareth] Branwyn has produced "Jargon Watch" (HardWired Books, 1997)
described as a "pocket dictionary for the jitterati" (those who fear
they are outside the digital revolution).
...
* Cube Farm: An office filled with cubicles.
[End]

And Now, a Lexicon for the Non-Wired
June 02, 1997

The book came out in May 1997, and maybe "cube farm" was also in an
earlier edition of Wired magazine.
