Well, right of the bat, I compared the uprising of England in the book, to one of the major uprisings going on in the world right now, specifically the uprising in Syria. The people are ruled by an authoritarian government, meaning they have to bow to those in power. This can be compared to people in the shakespearean time period who decided that they no longer wanted to be ruled by a monarchy that they felt were not suitable to rule.
Also comparable to this time period are assassinations. Many are planned, such as the assassination of Osama Bin-Laden. Both the assassination in Cue for Treason and in reality were planned and rehearsed, to the point of perfection, the point of nothing going wrong. So, Cue for Treason is easily comparable to real life, whether the author meant for it to be like that, or not.
I know that this was made by you about 3 years ago and you have probably forgotten about it, but I'm writing my RSTs right now and your text-to-world connections were really helpful to me. Thank you very much!
