If you catch them, you catch them, but if you don't get the references, it should not affect your enjoyment in any way. Neil and I plotted this story from its inception; he approached me with his own ideas for scenes and characters, and he knew the lyrics he was writing, so we built the world, the storyline, the villains and heroes around the songs; but it also had to work as a novel, too. Clockwork Angels should be an enjoyable steampunk fantasy regardless of whether or not you're a Rush fan. |archive-date=January 12, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200112032707/https://io9.gizmodo.com/kevin-j-anderson-talks-clockwork-angels-his-new-novel-5940743 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=Owens |first1=Skip |title='Clockwork Lives' Is Now a Graphic Novel |url=https://geekdad.com/2018/06/clockwork-lives-is-now-a-graphic-novel/ |website=GEEKDAD |access-date=January 11, 2020 |date=June 26, 2018 |quote=Speaking of Rush, being a Rush fan is another reason to read Clockwork Lives.

Peart worked with Anderson on a third and final novel during the last years of his life; after his death, his widow gave Anderson permission to continue the project. The book, ''Clockwork Destiny'', was published by ECW Press in June 2022; like the first two novels, it incorporates portions of lyrics from Rush songs.
