This story is dedicated to Roger Zelazny, of whose work it is a pastiche. Zelazny also appears as a character. "'My name's Roger...' followed by something Polish and unpronounceable that began with Z and ended with Y." (p. 141) It also contains a pre-Internet reference to "a worldwide computer system."
