Is Planet Nowhere based on a real-world series?

Question

In the TV show, The Middle, Brick Heck is obsessed with a sci-fi book series called Planet Nowhere.

Is there a real-world analogue that show writers used as a base to develop the book series?

Answer 1

The book is featured on List of fictional books from non-print media under Miscellaneous from television so I would say that there is no real-world analogue to it.

Note that the list is pretty big so featuring a fake/fictional book in a TV show or a movie is nothing unusual.
