BEg 2 ch 33 some refs

[Michael Bailey]

Calling Vyrva, she gets the “going into a tunnel, let me call you back.”

Sometimes the cell connections are actually breaking up. One never hears
that without doubting, and one also never admits one has done it - one of
those venial transgressions known only to the phone company.

Vyrva comes by the office instead.


>From back in section 2, “Maxine continues to wander” -

“All these know-nothings coming in, putting in, it’s as bad as the surface
Web. They drive you deeper, into the deep unlighted. Beyond anyplace they’d
be comfortable. And that’s where the origin is. The way a powerful
telescope will bring you further out in physical space, closer to the moment
of the big bang, so here, going deeper, you approach the border country,
the edge of the unnavigable, the region of no information.”



Unsociability fueling the quest - “die ewige Einsamkeit zieht uns hinan” -

Not really unsociability, maybe an aversion to repetition? As they drive
towards the “region of no information,” they will inevitably acquire
information about it?

It’s funny, though: maybe it is unsociability, because the know-nothings
*are* a region of no information, aren’t they? A borderline of their own
