Do you think artists suddenly become irrelevant in the future? We still talk about Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley, and the Beatles to this day.
Thank you so much for giving our book a chance. I do think it’s important to remember that art transcends time. We still celebrate the genius of Shakespeare more than 400 years later, and people continue to idolize artists like The Beatles, Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, and Louis Armstrong. In that same way, the main character’s admiration for Taylor Swift highlights his disconnection from the fast-paced, tech-driven trends of 2073, while grounding him in a more timeless form of fandom.
A couple of references sprinkled though the book would have been fine; but so many in the first handful of pages just took me out of it. People might talk about Michael Jackson and Elvis to this day, but not constantly
