I don’t like pop culture references scattered haphazardly throughout a story. It feels disingenuous when there are many other ways to mark a time period. Mentions of Glorilla and Ampiano should make sense. The story isn’t any better, the book won’t get a greater review, and the author isn’t any cooler just because a celebrity is mentioned or a type of song and dance. Stephen King does this, too. I hate it.
