‘Yestersol’ incorporates a wristwatch developed to indicate the time on Mars. The work refers to what Pattison has described as ‘colonial tendancies’ in the technology industry, alluding to a small community of engineers and scientists who work on ‘Mars time’ where days are 39 minutes longer than on Earth.
