References to Freemasonry in popular culture range from the vitriolic to the innocuous. Far more often they are merely misinformed allusions from which Freemasonry faces a far more insidious threat; that of being marginalized, trivialized, and fictionalized. Most of the references noted on this site are harmless, simply pointing out that Freemasonry has played a role in our society; some are humorous, yet some are disturbing in their associations.

Masonic references in the writings of Roger Zelazny
Isle of the Dead
Zelazny creates a world centuries in the future where planet builders merge their personalities with a pantheon of alien gods. The sole reference to Freemasonry is gratuitous and deprecating, describing a venal and self-interested real estate agent:
Mister Glidden, behind his desk at Sunspray, lowering the moist hand I had just shaken, his Masonic ring clicking against the ceramic sunburst of his ashtray as he picked up his cigar, in order to study me, fish-like, from the lake of smoke into which he submerged.
