It's not a real book. An Imperial Affliction was made a made up title by John Green. Peter van Houten is not a real person, and this book is not a real book, just like Augustus's favorite band, The Hectic Flow, is not a real band, and Phalanxifor is not a real cancer-treating drug. Most, if not all, of the concrete references to pop culture in the book were made up by John Green for the sake of the novel.
