cultural-perception

This chapter consists primarily of editorial notes and queries regarding language usage and nomenclature within the novel's universe. The author debates the capitalization and commonality of the term 'skrode' among the Riders, reflecting on linguistic conventions and cultural perspectives. Additionally, there is a brief commentary on the uninspired nature of the name 'Out of Band' and a desire to incorporate the concept of media freighters, likened to 'sneakernet' or 'station wagon broadband,' into the narrative.
