## Why Anarres?

This is the name of the home world of the main character in Ursula K Le Guin's
book "The Dispossessed".

Google Gemini says:

Anarres from Ursula K. Le Guin's "The Dispossessed" is a fantastic name for a
general-purpose Guile Scheme library. It perfectly encapsulates the spirit of
what a foundational, general-purpose library should be. It evokes:

* Self-Sufficiency and Independence: Like the planet, your library can provide
  the core tools needed to build and function, reducing external dependencies.
* Fundamental Principles: Anarres is built on a philosophy of shared resources
  and direct action, mirroring a library that offers fundamental, robust
  primitives and utilities.
* Flexibility and Adaptability: The Urrasti found Anarres an "unappealing"
  world, yet its inhabitants thrived through ingenuity and adaptation—qualities
  vital for versatile code.
* Collaborative Spirit: The Odonian society on Anarres emphasizes collective
  good and shared contribution, resonating with the open-source nature of Scheme
  and community-driven development.
* Efficiency and Practicality: Stripped of unnecessary complexities, Anarres
  represents a focus on what is essential and effective.

Using Anarres as your library's name immediately signals a connection to these
themes, suggesting a collection of tools that are fundamental, reliable, and
designed to empower users to build freely and effectively.
