When we thought of language like a book, perhaps it was natural that we were worried and careful about what we enshrined in it. But now that we can think of language like the internet, it’s clear that there is space for innovation, space for many Englishes and many other languages besides, space for linguistic playfulness and creativity. There’s space, in this glorious linguistic web, for you.

I just learned the origin of future!CharacterName (or other characteristics like fem!Character, child!Character...) in fandoms! The author explains it's from the way old email were routed, like bob!mathsdepartment!MIT or something like that (I'm listening to the audiobook so I haven't seen it written but that's my understanding of it). I never knew, and I've used characteristic!Name for a long time now!

Someone here said that Becky Chambers' Monk & Robot series was a fictional version of this book, so I'm giving it a try! Very interesting, even though I'm not always convinced by the author's points.
