Referring more to the television series than to the novel, Craig Elvy asserts: "Both within the world of The Expanse and among fans, "Holden" and "quixotic" go hand in hand; Cervantes' famous creation was defined by his idealistic nature, both in his delusion and his optimism. Just like Don Quixote, Holden wades into matters that aren't his concern because his perspective is different to everyone else on the board." See Elvy, Craig (May 2, 2020). "The Expanse: What The Rocinante's Name Reveals About Holden & Miller". ScreenRant.
