Dead Air is a science fiction short story by US writer
Damian Broderick, published (i.a.) in the feb. 2010 issue of
Asimov's Science Fiction 34:2 (=409) (p. 24-33);
style and plot have a distinctive Philip K. Dick-ian flavour. The story is set
in a future New York City, in a globalized world afflicted with global

A scene set at a Taiwanese eatery includes a «great acrylic
patriotic flag above» (…) «pinned to the
four corners of the room, fifty white stars on deep skyblue, three more blue
stars clinging at the inner edge of the top white stripes: New Zealand,
Australia, Taiwan.» (p.26).

Apart from the quoted sentence, the story gives no other hint about
the flag nor about its overall significance in terms of geopolitics and
vexillography.
