Also turn the page to check out the Pop Culture References in detail.
Pop Culture References
1) Eva Hutchinson and her brother Dan Hutchinson are named after the children characters in Shirley Jackson’s notable book, The Lottery, one of the first books that tackled ideas mentioned in the Unchosen Academy. Dan is mentioned to be holding a black box, which was a major element in Shirley Jackson’s novella. What was in Dan’s black box in Unchosen Academy? You will know in upcoming books.
2) Madame Delacroix and Madame Dunbar who killed their children are also named after characters in Shirley Jackson’s the Lottery.
3) The Breakfast Club is named after the 1985 John Hughes movie which is one of the best movies ever to tackle teen issues. The rebels call themselves the Breakfast Club, inspired by the movie of course. You might wonder who the Breakfast Club exactly are, and where they came from. This will be explained in the following book.
4) The nation of Faya is the shape of a Decagon, a closed shape of ten sides and ten angles, with the
capital Sol in the middle. I can’t say more, but it is a crucially important info in the whole series.
5) Cubberley, the school Decca graduated from, is named after the city where an important incident, called the Third Wave happened years ago. It’s a true incident that proved that an experiment to demonstrate democratic societies are not immune to the appeal of fascism. You can google it, and you will instantly see how it is related to the
world of Faya.
6) The idea of the iAm is true. It’s called Self-Quantification. You can search it, and read about how people and big companies are already planning on using it very soon—but we all know that already, don’t we?
7) Hannibal Xitler is named after the character Hannibal Lector in Thomas Harris’ Silence of the Lambs and Hitler, but of course you know that –eye roll. The superficial and cheesy use of such names is to hint at the superficial world of Faya. I didn’t use complicated names because when the Summit found what’s left of America’s history in containers (the Arc) — OOPSIE, did I spoil a little fact from the next book? Let’s only mention those in the next book.
