...and other media.
I don't find anything in the outline about pop culture -- no comics, no movies, no music, no TV; the only mention of the word "media" is in the context of their occasionally bestowing super names. Which is kind of sad, because the history of pop culture in the IST world was one of the bits of sub-creation that really made it feel lived-in.
(Of course, I'm using the term "sub-creation" not in the Old Philologist's full meaning, that any "creative" act undertaken within the Primary World was merely a reuse of the materials wrought in the only truly Creative Act, but in the more common sense of corroborative detail intended to give verisimilitude to an otherwise bald and unconvincing Secondary World.)
Some of this stuff, obviously, is going to be on the timeline; dare I hope other bits would be covered in the history-chapter sections for the time-frames they come out of? (The rise of the Big Five comics companies in the WWII section; M*A*S*H and "Psi in the House" in the late-70s section...)
Whether or not that's how it ends up working, this would be a good place to brainstorm. I've just signed onto the Release of Rights thread, so any new ideas I come up with are available for the Silverbook. (My brain just spat out that name for it; I have no regrets that I can detect.)
