Allusions and References in Other Works
City of Glass is referenced in the 2001 video game Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, which contains a character named Peter Stillman. The reference has been further confirmed by the game's early design documentation, which revealed other characters named after Quinn and his aliases that were not included in the final version of the game. The references are thematically appropriate, as the game also exploits metafictional issues in questioning the relationship between the player of a video game and the protagonist of the game itself.

Famous quotes containing the word works:
“We thus worked our way up this river, gradually adjusting our thoughts to novelties, beholding from its placid bosom a new nature and new works of men, and, as it were with increasing confidence, finding nature still habitable, genial, and propitious to us; not following any beaten path, but the windings of the river, as ever the nearest way for us. Fortunately, we had no business in this country.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
