- Hilarious in Hindsight:
- In writing this story, Forster effectively predicted the Internet.
- The plot also seems quite close to the 2019/2020 COVID lockdown. Families talk to each other via video calls, Forster describes the characters as "isolating", and a terrible fear of the danger out there to keep you home with all the comforts technology can bring.
