In Ishmael, when you are talking about the cultural amnesia that afflicts the Taker society, you say that our cultural awareness only extends back to 1963.
Why that specific year?

Roughly speaking, 1963 was the year when “Beatlemania” became a global phenomenon. Of course, the Beatles are now culturally “ancient history.”
