Academically situated in recent history, the narrative was inspired by non-fiction: Sherry Turkle’s Alone Together (2011, about tech’s influence upon relationships), Michele Borba’s Unselfie (2016, a plea for empathy in a social-media influenced world), Dr. Jean Twenge's research (author of iGen, 2017), and Amusing Ourselves to Death by Neil Postman (The 20th Anniversary Edition, 2005). These books comment on language, media, and our use of it over time.
