SL doesn't reference poetry very much (at least not that I've noticed). Makes it hard to make the case that she's deliberately making a reference, or implying something about future events. Poltical science seems more her speed.

Alexis Kennedy is pretty much the only writer (edit:only writer who does games, and that I am aware of) doing weird fantasy stuff that explicitly references modernist literature and is interested in exploring those themes (his first foray into interactive narrative was Fallen London, which is still being worked on and you can still play, he's just not personally working on it anymore. One common event is to be haunted by a dream, all of which are chapter titles from the Wasteland). His newest work, Cultist Simulator, is basically 'high modernism' the game, using occultism as the medium.
