Yeah, 1984 is one of my favourite books, I know full well what you were referring to. Bowie's track 1984 (as well as a few other tracks on the Diamond Dogs album) are actually part of a suite of songs that Bowie was writing based on the book which he never finished (the track that follows is it called Big Brother).

I don't think Kojima had any ulterior motives when he tweeted that picture. I think Kojima was just showing his love for Bowie, which is well documented at this point.
