If I were writing stories set in the current year, I would always be worrying about events overtaking my plot and about which references will add realism and which references will date the novel badly within a few years of its release.<br Malcolm R.

I can just make it up and not worry about what's happening in the world around me. Even if I do throw in a contemporary reference (... she was sitting, reading the latest Stephanie Plum novel ...) I carefully don't mention WHICH Plum novel it is.

But yes, it is something we, as authors, must be aware of. Same with comments about pop stars or actors--who in twenty years is going to know who Katy Perry or the latest Disney star are?
