Here’s an incomplete list of the themes and references that I’m consciously including in my new short story, “Summertime in the Void” (1st draft complete, working on the 2nd draft):
- “It’s not you, it’s me”
- Rapture eschatology
- The Singularity
- Arabian constellations
- Ecodomes (tangentially)
- “Locked in the Trunk of a Car” by The Tragically Hip (one or maybe two lines specifically)
- Pills
- A line in “Road Movie to Berlin” by They Might Be Giants
- and of course “Summertime in the Void” by I Mother Earth
