Are there direct lyrical connection between that book and the SY song?

Aged 32 during the events of Pattern Recognition, Cayce lives in New York City. Though named by her parents after Edgar Cayce, she pronounces her given name "Case".[4] She is a freelance marketing consultant, a coolhunter with an unusual intuitive sensitivity for branding,[5] manifested primarily in her physical aversion to particular logos and corporate mascots.

My absolute favorite sci-fi factlet is that in the 1970s and 80s the American Marxist literary critic Fredric Jameson wrote extensively about science-fiction through his theory on the political efficacy of narrative. One of his most used examples was Philip K. Dick. At some point Dick got word of this and wrote a letter the CIA asking them to get this communist fucker to stop writing about him.

The novel's language is viewed as rife with labeling and product placements.[28] Postmodern theorist Fredric Jameson calls it "a kind of hyped-up name-dropping ... [where] an encyclopaedic familiarity with the fashions ... [creates] class status as a matter of knowing the score rather than of having money and power".[29] He also calls it "postmodern nominalism"[29] in that the names express the new and fashionable.[29]

Nice one, Ruddo.

That reminds me, I've been meaning to pick up Simon Stålenhag's art books. His stuff is amazing.

I've got 3 of them. Good stuff.
