-interesting quote from novel I'm reading:
"She watched the machine-slaves drift to and fro, and observed the way the women edited their servants from their world: they never looked directly at them, never spoke to them. They ignored their very existence, and yet depended entirely upon it."
I think the use of the word 'edit' within that is particularly interesting in regards to the idea of 'stories that we tell ourselves,' as in either the yoga idea of such or in a de Lintian sense (I'm making up a word, damnit, nothing you can do about it!), though I think Ms. Connie could explain the pracitical idea of it best, if you're interested.
