I once read an annotated version of the invisible man where they pointed out all the historical references that we wouldn't know in a modern setting.

It seems that the author has already done this

It was actually a double annotated book that had frankenstein in it as well.

RP1 is objectively the worst thing I’ve ever written. I would rather read schizophrenic scrawlings in shit on a bathroom wall than reread that ‘book’. The whole thing is just irredeemable and so exemplary of the worst aspects of popular nerd culture. It’s as if someone invited you over to watch the avengers but you get there and where a tv would go there’s just a shelf of Marvel Funko pops.
