* [[Straight Gay]]: Nijinsky. Aside from the fact he's a [[Sharp Dressed Man]], there's no real indication (with the exception of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaslav_Nijinsky his name], which most readers would not have picked up anyway) that he's gay until later in the novel.

** Also, possibly Ophelia. Though in the first book, it's not explicitly stated. However, she does say, "I don't hit on boys," in response to Wilkes asking whether she's hit on Vincent. A few pages later, when they are discussing what comes after death, Wilkes says, "A bunch of hot guy virgins ... A couple girls, too, maybe, just because life is short and try everything, right?" which Ophelia pointedly ignores.

* [[Twenty Minutes Into the Future]]: When the events of the book actually take place is never really said, but apart from the nanomachines everything is pretty much exactly the same as present day. There are casual references to modern pop culture (the [[Saw]] series of movies, for one) and things like Starbucks, but none of the mentioned heads of state match up with their current real-life counterparts, either.
