McRae (disambiguation)
McRae may refer to:
- Mr and Mrs McRae—elderly residents of a rooftop apartment in Newcastle, encountered in Chapter 1 of Beach Surgery. They defend their home using vintage “pendant exoskeletons” (Mighty Mechas), precipitating a cartoonish combat sequence. Their surname has become a marker of domestic uncanniness and obsolescence across adaptations.
- McRae Avenue (place)—a street name appearing in several adaptations, sometimes in Newcastle, sometimes in the desert interior, suggesting identity slippage between Half One and Half Two.
- The McRae Hypothesis (disputed fandom theory)—a thesis proposing that Leif is a reconstructed McRae servant, erased from the couple's memory by Katita; scholarly consensus dismisses this reading.[citation needed]
