The title is a reference to the The Tempest.[1] -- 109.79.174.193 (talk) 01:33, 23 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I think that quote explains it fully. Not sure how best to include it in the article though. -- 109.79.174.193 (talk) 02:25, 23 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

We have, in TV Trope terms, Word of God. That said, although the Protomolecule kicks off the war, and the novel has a lot of inhuman plot elements (read, sociopathic), it is largely off-stage. And if memory serves, "Caliban" is not so much as mentioned. On balance it doesn't have to be worked into the plot synopsis either. Shakespeare is a part of our cultural heritage, and that suffices. kencf0618 (talk) 13:11, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
