(Death is very close, he thought. When you think in this manner. I can feel it, he decided. How near I am. Nothing is killing me; I have no enemy, no antagonist; I am merely expiring, like a magazine subscription: month by month.)

主角在菲利普·迪克（Philip K. Dick）的《银河盆栽》一书中反映了死亡的接近性，认识到其不可避免的性。他承认，他的死亡率不是冲突或斗争的标志，而是逐渐消失，类似于订阅用完。这种观点突出了对他一生的终结的接受感。
