The [[Google Earth]] website, in cooperation with the [[United States Geological Survey]] has prepared a [http://quake.wr.usgs.gov/research/geology/hf_map/GE_helicopter.htm virtual helicopter tour] of the fault, with much additional information available through the tour. Potentially dangerous landslide areas are also marked, showing great areas beyond the fault that could be rendered uninhabitable by a major event.

The [[Tom Wolfe]] novel ''[[A Man in Full]]'' features a fictional major earthquake on the Hayward Fault as a [[deus ex machina]] method (freeing a major character from prison) and plot development point.

The [[1985]] James Bond]] movie, ''[[A View to a Kill]]'' (1985) involved a plot, referred as "Main Strike", by [[Max Zorin]] to detonate explosives along the Hayward Fault, San Andreas Fault and at the "geological lock" to flood the two faults with water from nearby lakes and cause both faults to move causing a "double earthquake" that would destroy Silicon Valley;, all in order for Zorin to monopolize the microchip market.
