The Power of Word Casings

Egan wrote another one that's going to stick with you for a long time because you're just still chewing on little bits of it. The easiest thing for me to talk about is like the craft of it, and she's not telling a clear narrative arc for any of this technology. And yet the way that she doles out details across these like dozen or so stories is really effective and builds a world for you. One Andrew, an idea called word casings at one one. Like for sausages? No, one character uses it to describe almost like a spent bullet casing. She wants words that actually like have effectiveness.
