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!
Reviews and Comments
Petit rat de bibliothèque qui a beaucoup de mal à lire. J'ai 32 ans, je suis non-binaire (iel+neutre/masc) et vous pouvez me retrouver sur @tellington@eldritch.cafe. J'aime un peu tous les genres sauf l'horreur et le policier. Je lis (et écris) en français et en anglais.
Lil' bookworm who has a hard time reading. I'm 32, non-binary (they/them) and you can find me at @tellington@eldritch.cafe. I like almost every genre except horror and mystery/crime novels. I read (and write) in French and English.

So I'm at like chapter 5 and I already get how it inspired Torrey Peters for Detransition, Baby, the style and vibe are quite similar!

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.
