The movie Falling Down is a story about a man who lost his job and events spiral downward from there. Desperation, depression and destruction. My novel Falling Up is set generations after a nuclear apocalypse, when people are beginning to rebuild from a largely frontier level of living.

So the counterpoint is clear in the opposite wording of the titles, and also demonstrated in the opposite direction of the story arcs. I wrote the main character as a person who, though he could easily destroy to accomplish his goals, chooses instead to build.

The title also happens to be quite on point in the context of the character's special abilities.
