I scoured the wee grey matter and here's a few other ideas I’ve come up with:

-Distancing. Another tongue in cheek title referencing the current world, but this could refer to something about people or a person being apart from each other or another for whatever reason, or maybe people slowly drifting apart, or whatever take on the word you may come up with.

-Zoot Suit Riot. A zoot suit is a style from the 1940s featuring a baggy suit with a lot of extra fabric. It was especially popular with the young urban stylish set and minorities. The Zoot Suit Riot was a 1943 riot in Los Angeles (and subsequently some other US cities as well) where servicemen stationed in the city targeted youths wearing the outfit as being unpatriotic during wartime because of the extra fabric used despite rationing. There is also an upbeat swing song from the 1990s called Zoot Suit Riot. This topic wouldn’t be specific to zoot suits or the riot but rather the period or themes it conjures up. Maybe something set in the stylish club or nighttime scene during WWII, or maybe something to do with riots during any period, or however else you may interpret it.

-Everything Old Is New Again. I like the title, but I’m not really sure exactly where this one would go, so it’s very open to interpretation. Maybe an old book that somehow seems very relevant, current or predictive of the future. Or perhaps a new book that somehow references another older book or something else old. Or it could be plot-specific, having something old be somehow new again. Or books with ‘old’ or ‘new’ in the title. There’s a lot to play with here.

-Great Expectations. Excluding the actual book with that title, this could be books about a person or characters formerly or currently destined for greatness, or expected to achieve greatness, whether they actually do or not.
