Update: they're watching episodes of Star Trek: Voyager (1995-2001) now.

Stuck on the spaceship with a repository of movies to watch, and so far they've put on While You Were Sleeping (1995) and Independence Day (1996). Are these characters from the future or not?? This fixation on 20th century pop culture is such a bizarre writing choice.

Sorry, back again so soon. Teasing your hacker friend in 2061 by calling her "Hacky Robinson" and "Hack Skellington"? I mean... maybe? But wouldn't they have at least one reference from the past few decades that readers wouldn't know?

Your story is set in 2061 and there are still TikToks? 1% into this book and I already have misgivings.
