Random Thoughts on AEG

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

8	Was anyone else struck by the thought that Wolfe is making a wicked pun by
calling Cassie's agent Zelda Youmans?

I take it that "Zelda Youmans" stands for "sell the humans".

Whether this is just a little joke about agents, or whether it is a comment
on Zelda's allegiances, I'm not sure. I rather assume the former, but I'm
happy to hear a case for the latter.
